Beschreibung

Neuware - 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\* Introduces DEM from the fundamental concepts (theoretical mechanics and solidstate physics), with 2D and 3D simulation methods for polygonal particles\* Provides the fundamentals of coding discrete element method (DEM) requiring little advance knowledge of granular matter or numerical simulation\* Highlights the numerical tricks and pitfalls that are usually only realized after years of experience, with relevant simple experiments as applications\* Presents a logical approach starting withthe mechanical and physical bases,followed by a description of the techniques and finally their applications\* Written by a key author presenting ideas on how to model the dynamics of angular particles using polygons and polyhedral\* Accompanying website includes MATLAB-Programs providing the simulation code for two-dimensional polygonsRecommended 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.
