For a wide range of applications, we need DEM simulations of granular matter in contact with flexible elastic boundaries. We present a novel method to describe the interaction between granular particles and a flexible elastic membrane.…
Finite element methods are used to study non-adhesive, frictionless contact between elastic solids with self-affine surfaces. We find that the total contact area rises linearly with load at small loads. The mean pressure in the contact…

The friction force observed at macroscale is the result of interactions at various lower length scales that are difficult to model in a combined manner. For this reason, simplified approaches are required, depending on the specific aspect…
Simulation of fracturing processes in porous rocks can be divided into two main branches: (i) modeling the rock as a continuum which is enhanced with special features to account for fractures, or (ii) modeling the rock by a discrete (or…
We propose an efficient method to build a simple discrete element model (DEM) that accurately simulates the oscillation of a continuum beam. The DEM is based on the Timoshenko beam theory of slender cylindrical members and their…
