...K. Han; D.R.J. Owen; D. Peric Because of the unrealistic demand of computer resources in terms of memory and CPU times for the direct numerical simulation of practical peen forming processes, a two‐stage combined finite/discrete element and explicit/implicit solution strategy is proposed...

...K. Han; D. Peric´; D.R.J. Owen; J. Yu Following earlier work on the combined finite/discrete element simulation of shot peening process in 2D case, 3D representation of the problem is established with respect to DE modelling and contact interaction laws. An important relevant computational issue...

...K. Han; D. Peric; A.J.L. Crook; D.R.J. Owen In the first part of this series of papers on the combined finite/discrete element simulation of shot peening processes, different contact interaction laws for 2D cases are extensively studied with special attention given to the proper selection...
