“…Thereupon the direct simulations of nanopowders by the granular dynamics method, also known as the discrete element method [4,5,[7][8][9][10][11], have attractive prospects. Different regularities of nanopowder systems, for example, the size effect in nanopowder compaction processes, have been already investigated in the framework of the granular dynamics method [4,5,12,13]. Heretofore objects for numerical experiments are monodisperse systems [8,12,13], which consist of particles of the same size, or systems with very artificial particle size distributions, for example, the uniform distribution into the given narrow range of sizes [9].…”
