What Does DEM Stand For?
DEM stands for Discrete Element Method
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a computational modeling technique used to simulate the behavior of systems composed of discrete particles or elements. It is particularly effective in analyzing the dynamics of granular materials, such as sands, powders, and other bulk materials, allowing for the study of interactions between particles, changes in structure, and the overall mechanical properties of the material. DEM is widely utilized in various fields, including geotechnical engineering, pharmaceutical research, and material science, providing insights into phenomena like flow behavior, compaction, and particle shape effects.
