| Abstract | This BRITE Pivot award supports research to enable high-fidelity computer simulations of granular materials with unprecedented scalability and efficiency by fundamentally reimagining the discrete element method (DEM). Granular materials – spanning soil and powders to lithium-ion battery particles – are central to many natural and engineered systems. DEM has become an essential tool across disciplines for modeling granular materials, offering critical insight into how microscopic interactions amo |
