particle rotation, b) contact points (DEM) and contact surfaces (MDEM) behaviour<br />
The accuracy of representation of the s<strong>im</strong>ulated processes increases as the<br />
models are equipped with more and more precise values of the moduli of elasticity,<br />
rigidity, micro-hardness, roughness, of contact friction coefficient, and<br />
damping coefficients.<br />
3.5. Model of micropolar continuum<br />
The model of micropolar continuum includes rotation into the kinematics of<br />
material. The starting point is the derivation of the field of displacement u(x, t) and<br />
rotations ω(x, t) vectors (fig. 3.14). Deformation of infinites<strong>im</strong>al element of the<br />
material occurs as a result of superposition of displacement and rotations.<br />
Interaction between elements of the structure of material on elementary<br />
surface dS takes place not only through the force vector, but also through the<br />
couple force vector. An elementary area of the material is affected not only by<br />
force stresses, but also by couple stresses. The theory of non-symmetrical<br />
elasticity was formulated by the brothers E. and F. Cosserat. At present the theory<br />
draws considerable attention from researchers, and one of the areas of its application<br />
is the mechanics of granular materials [79].<br />
