We present a deformable Discrete Element Method (DEM) that extends the classical rigid-particle formulation through a reduced-order description of elastic grain-scale deformation. The method hinges on two developments. First, an energetic…
Introducing a reduced particle stiffness in discrete element method (DEM) allows for bigger time steps and therefore fewer total iterations in a simulation. Although this approach works well for dry non-adhesive particles, it has been shown…
Faceted shapes, such as polyhedra, are commonly found in systems of nanoscale, colloidal, and granular particles. Many interesting physical phenomena, like crystal nucleation and growth, vacancy motion, and glassy dynamics are challenging…
The Extended Discrete Element Method (XDEM) is an innovative numerical simulation technique that extends the dynamics of granular materials known as Discrete Element Method (DEM) by additional properties such as the thermodynamic state,…
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…
We discuss the use of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate the dynamics of granular systems made up of elements with nontrivial geometries. The DEM simulator is GPU accelerated and can handle elements whose shape is defined as the…

Discrete element modelling (DEM) is one of the most efficient computational approaches to the fracture processes of heterogeneous materials on mesoscopic scales. From the dynamics of single crack propagation through the statistics of crack…
We compare two widely used Lagrangian approaches for modeling granular materials: the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). DEM models individual particle interactions, while SPH treats granular materials…

This study presents and calibrates a Discrete Element Method (DEM) contact model for wet granular materials in the pendular regime. The model extends a previously calibrated dry contact formulation by incorporating liquid bridges that…
We show that the DDR method can be interpreted as defining a computable consistent discrete $\mathrm{L}^2$ product on a conforming FES defined by PDEs. Without modifying the numerical method itself, this point of view provides an…
We present a multiscale simulation algorithm for amorphous materials, which we illustrate and validate in a canonical case of dense granular flow. Our algorithm is based on the recently proposed Spot Model, where particles in a dense random…
