discrete element method (analysis and testing techniques, <processes and techniques by specific type>, Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A numerical method used in computing the stresses and displacements of a large number of small particles such as grains of sand. Often used in combination with the finite element method to address engineering questions involving granular and discontinuous materials in continuous physical systems. |

Dutch ..... Een numerieke methode die wordt gebruikt om de spanningen en verschuivingen te berekenen bij grote aantallen kleine deeltjes, zoals zandkorrels. De methode wordt vaak gebruikt in combinatie met de eindige-elementenmethode voor technische kwesties met betrekking tot granulaire en discontinue materialen in continue fysieke systemen. |
