Chrono DEM-Engine: A Discrete Element Method dual-GPU simulator with customizable contact forces and element shape
Ruochun Zhang, Bonaventura Tagliafierro, Colin Vanden Heuvel +6
This paper introduces DEM-Engine, a new submodule of Project Chrono, that is designed to carry out Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Based on spherical primitive shapes, D…
A GPU-accelerated simulator for the DEM analysis of granular systems composed of clump-shaped elements
Ruochun Zhang, Colin Vanden Heuvel, Alexander Schepelmann +5
We discuss the use of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate the dynamics of granular systems made up of elements with nontrivial geometries. The DEM simulator is GPU accele…
Using a Bayesian-Inference Approach to Calibrating Models for Simulation in Robotics
Huzaifa Mustafa Unjhawala, Ruochun Zhang, Wei Hu +3
In robotics, simulation has the potential to reduce design time and costs, and lead to a more robust engineered solution and a safer development process. However, the use of simula…
