From Angle of Repose to Heap Morphology: Full-Field Calibration of DEM for Granular Powders
Olivier Gaboriault, Antonella Succar, Cléo Delêtre +4
The calibration of discrete element method (DEM) models is commonly performed by tuning model parameters to match an experimental measurements, most commonly the angle of repose (A…

Blackbox optimization for origami-inspired bistable structures
Luca Boisneault, Charles Audet, David Melancon
Bistable mechanical systems exhibit two stable configurations where the elastic energy is locally minimized. To realize such systems, origami techniques have been proposed as a ver…

Simulating flow-induced reconfiguration by coupling corotational plate finite elements with a simplified pressure drag
Danick Lamoureux, Sophie Ramananarivo, David Melancon +1
Developing engineering systems that rely on flow-induced reconfiguration, the phenomenon where a structure deforms under flow to reduce its drag, requires design tools that can pre…
