Article Synopsis
- - Mastication plays a critical role in digestion by breaking down and mixing food through coordinated jaw and tooth movements, but studying this process experimentally can be difficult and inefficient.
- - The research utilizes Discrete Element Method (DEM) to simulate mastication, employing various breakage models to understand how different factors like particle shape and orientation affect food fragment distribution.
- - The study enhances breakage models by including factors like elastic-plastic behavior and moisture content in food, showcasing the effectiveness of numerical modeling in analyzing complex mastication processes.
