Gives readers a more thorough understanding of DEM and equips researchers for independent work and an ability to judge methods related to simulation of polygonal particles <ul>
<li>Introduces DEM from the fundamental concepts (theoretical mechanics and solidstate physics), with 2D and 3D simulation methods for polygonal particles</li> <li>Provides the fundamentals of coding discrete element method (DEM) requiring little advance knowledge of granular matter or numerical simulation</li> <li>Highlights the numerical tricks and pitfalls that are usually only realized after years of experience, with relevant simple experiments as applications</li> <li>Presents a logical approach starting withthe mechanical and physical bases,followed by a description of the techniques and finally their applications</li> <li>Written by a key author presenting ideas on how to model the dynamics of angular particles using polygons and polyhedral</li> <li>Accompanying website includes MATLAB-Programs providing the simulation code for two-dimensional polygons</li> </ul>
Recommended for researchers and graduate students who deal with particle models in areas such as fluid dynamics, multi-body engineering, finite-element methods, the geosciences, and multi-scale physics.
