DEM

Invited session at EDEM’s “DEM Powder Calibration Meeting” to present the outcomes of the Models for Manufacturing of Particulate Products Project.

With the rapid development of high-speed railway over the world in recent years, more and more researchers are focused on the strength, stiffness and stability of the embankment. It’s more and more popular to use the discrete element method (DEM) to study cemented granular materials (e.g. rocks and concrete).

Wet granulation is a process used to create larger stable agglomerates (granules) from fine powders. This numerical study simulates a GEA ConsiGma™ 1 Twin Screw Granulator (TSG), following a standard framework for model-driven design.

This study employs the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to study a 25 mm diameter, GEA ConsiGma™ 1 Twin Screw Granulator (TSG), with a typical 60°configuration for kneading elements. The DEM simulations were conducted using the commercial code EDEM.

Invited talk at the Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China.

Using uniaxial testing is a quick and easy way of calibrating cohesive solids for DEM simulations.

The EEPA model is now included as a default model in EDEM offering all the benefits with reduced computational overheads.
