A Numerical Study on the Effects of Particle-Particle and Particle-Boundary Interactions on the Powder Bed Structure and Stress Distribution

A Numerical Study on the Effects of Particle-Particle and Particle-Boundary Interactions on the Powder Bed Structure and Stress Distribution

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. Watch the presentation to find out more about the results of this study.
