Understanding the Discrete Element Method - Matuttis, Hans-Georg (The University of Electro-Communications, Japan) a Chen, Jian (RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, Japan)

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. This title introduces DEM from the fundamental concepts (theoretical mechanics and solidstate physics), with 2D and 3D simulation methods for polygonal particles.
