A Drag Force Model of Vertical Penetration into a Granular Medium Based on DEM Simulations and Experiments

The force exerted on a cylindrical intruder as it penetrates a granular medium was analyzed utilizing both experiments and the discrete element method (DEM). In this work, a series of penetration experiments were performed, considering cylindrical intruders with different nose shapes. We found that...
