Shot Peening Optimization using the Discrete Element Method
The aim of this study is to develop a Discrete Element Model (DEM) capable of simulating the main shot peening (SP) processes of industrial interest. By means of this model, shot shot interaction, shot target interaction and the overall shot flow were investigated in detail with limited computational effort. A new technique to dynamically change the coefficient of restitution (CoR) for repeated...
متن کاملPyrolysis of Shrinking Cylindrical Biomass Pellet
In the present study, impact of shrinkage on pyrolysis of biomass particles is studied employing a kinetic model coupled with heat transfer model using a practically significant kinetic scheme consisting of physically measurable parameters. The numerical model is used to examine the impact of shrinkage on temperature profile and pyrolysis conversion time considering cylindrical geometry. Finite...
متن کاملApplication of the discrete element method to model cohesive materials
One way to include fracture and fragmentation when analyzing loaded mechanical systems is based on the DEM, [2], [3]. In recent years this approach was adopted in geomechanics and civil engineering to model fracture in elastic-brittle materials, e.g. [1] and [5]. Using this approach, the material is considered as being fully discontinuous and made up by assembling and bonding adjacent discrete ...
متن کاملDISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
متن کاملFluid Properties Effects on Sand Production using Discrete Element Method
Oil production may be accompanied by Sand Production (SP) in the weak sandstone reservoirs. Fluid flow is an important factor in transporting the separated grains and completing the SP mechanism. In this paper, the effect of fluid parameters, fluid flow, and fluid pressure on the SP is investigated by applying the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Parametric studies show that fluid velocity is red...
