This book brings together in a single volume various methods and skills for particle-scale or discrete-element numerical simulation of granular media. It covers

Gives readers a more thorough understanding of DEM and equips researchers for independent work and an ability to judge methods related to simulation of polygona

This book is devoted to the Discrete Element Method (DEM) technique, a discontinuum modelling approach that takes into account the fact that granular materials
