Call for Abstract Submission to SES2020 Symposium "Distinct Element Method Mechanics Across Scales And Domains"

Submitted by Igor Berinskii on

Dear colleagues,

We encourage you to submit your abstract to our mini-symposium "Distinct Element Method Mechanics Across Scales And Domains" in the frames of Society of Engineering Science (SES) 57th Annual Technical Meeting. The abstract submission deadline is March 17th, 2020. You can find us under Track 5: Frontiers in Mechanics of Materials

 

the DEM's solutions for static mechanics seem strange

Submitted by xiashengxu on

My own DEM(Discrete Element Method) program's solution for static problem seems strange.

I use my program to calculate the displacement of a cantilever under static pressure:

1. it seems my program shows convergence for static problem as the mesh gets denser. As the mesh grows denser(that means the particle becomes smaller), the displacement(of y direction)  of the free tip becomes smaller.
