Summary on Grant Application Form
The computational treatment of a number of important classes of industrial problems encountered in diverse branches of engineering and science can only be undertaken by discrete element approaches. Such problems are those that involve granular behaviour (e.g. agglomeration processes in food production and the processing of minerals, shot peening operations and the micro/macro scale treatment of powder compaction processes) or where progressive fracturing takes place during the process (e.g. impact/blast loading predictions, material comminution and high speed machining operations).The aim of this application is to secure funding to maintain the momentum of current research work in discrete systems and multi-fracturing solids and to provide a mechanism by which significant further advancement of a generic nature can be made in the computational modelling of such problems.
