Numerical investigation of the breakage of bonded agglomerates during impact

► Numerically investigated breakage of agglomerates bonded using the Bonded Particle Model ► Explored the impact of bond strength, bond stiffness and impact velocity on agglomerate breakage ► Span the range of breakage from complete to no breakage based upon realistic material properties ► Observe non-linear breakage behavior with increasing impact velocity, contrary to previous work ► Bond parameters dominate the breakage behavior, whereas particle parameters play a minimal role
