Written for researchers and graduate students, Understanding the Discrete Element Method introduces the fundamental concepts of theoretical mechanics and solidstate physics with 2D and 3D simulation methods for polygonal particles. The book presents a logical approach starting with the mechanical and physical bases, followed by a description of the techniques, and finally their applications. Topics include particle mechanics and constraints, rotation in two dimensions, and rotation matrix in three dimensions.
MATLAB is used to solve numerous examples in the book.
