Discrete element modelling of rock communition in a cone crusher using a bonded particle model (2014)
Journal Article
Li, H., McDowell, G. R., & Lowndes, I. (2014). Discrete element modelling of rock communition in a cone crusher using a bonded particle model. Géotechnique Letters, 4(2), https://doi.org/10.1680/geolett.14.00006

It is known that discrete element method modelling (DEM) of rock size reduction can be achieved by two approaches: the population balance model (PBM) and the bonded particle model (BPM). However, only PBM has been successfully used in DEM modelling c... Read More about Discrete element modelling of rock communition in a cone crusher using a bonded particle model.
