A modified discrete element method for concave granular materials based on energy-conserving contact model

The development of a general discrete element method for irregularly shaped particles is the core issue of the simulation of the dynamic behavior of granular materials. The general energy-conserving contact theory is used to establish a universal discrete element method suitable for particle contact of arbitrary shape. In this study, three dimentional (3D) modeling and scanning techniques are used to obtain a trian- gular mesh representation of the true particles containing typical concave particles. The contact volume- based energy-conserving model is used to realize the contact detection between irregularly shaped par- ticles, and the contact force model is refined and modified to describe the contact under real conditions. The inelastic collision processes between the particles and boundaries are simulated to verify the ro- bustness of the modified contact force model and its applicability to the multi-point contact mode. In addition, the packing process and the flow process of a large number of irregular particles are simu- lated with the modified discrete element method (DEM) to illustrate the applicability of the method of complex problems.
