Nicholas Monroe from the University of Delaware presents as part of the 2020 ATCx DEM.
Many industries involving bulk solids require a fundamental understanding of powder bed packing structure and stress distribution in order to effectively design process equipment, optimize powder processes, and enhance product quality. Using Discrete Element Method simulations, a simple container filling and uniaxial compression process is modelled for a system of 70,000 glass bead particles with varying particle-particle cohesion and particle-wall friction and adhesion.
