Particulate Discrete Element Modelling

A Geomechanics Perspective

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Particulate discrete element analysis is becoming increasingly popular for research in geomechanics as well as geology, chemical engineering, powder technology, petroleum engineering and in studying the physics of granular materials. With increased computing power, practising engineers are also becoming more interested in using this technology for analysis in industrial applications. This is the first single work on DEM providing the information to get started with this powerful numerical modelling approach. It presents a theoretical overview of DEM as well as practical guidance on running DEM simulations and interpreting DEM simulation data with a geomechanics slant.
