Numerical simulation of the compaction of crushable grains in 3D

Grain fragmentation is simulated by means of a three-dimensional discrete element approach called bonded-cell method (BCM). In this method, grains and potential fragments may have any polyhedral shape and size, capturing the geometrical complexity of brittle grain failure. As an application of this...
