modeling of different subsoiler tines performance using discrete element method
Authors
abstract
for designing tillage implements it would be better to estimate soil forces exerted to the implements. many researches showed that numerical method of discrete element method (dem) is the cheapest and fastest technique for modeling granular material such as soil and especially sandy soil. in this study, paraplow and bentleg tines performance was compared with conventional tine using experimental and numerical methods. experiments were conducted in a soil bin at agricultural machinery department of urmia university based on factorial experimental design with three replications. three types of tine at 5 levels of travel speed of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 km/h at constant depth of 35 cm were examined. before modeling to calibrate dem parameters, soil parameters were calibrated by shear test simulation. then tine and soil bin with certain dimension were modeled by pfc3d software. results of analysis of variance and mean comparison showed that tine type and travel speed had significant effect on draft force. bentleg tine had the lowest draft in comparison to the other tines, while the conventional tine had the highest.

Dynamic Compaction (DC) is a common deep compaction method that is usually used for densification of coarse-grained soils. Although traditional continuum-based models such as the Finite Element Method can be successfully applied for assessment of stress distributions or deformations induced by DC, they are typically not adequate for capturing the grain scale mechanisms of soil behavior under im...

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...
full textRock Slope Stability Analysis Using Discrete Element Method
Rock slope stability depends very much on the strength features of the rock and the geometrical and strength characteristics of the discontinuities (e.g., roughness, wall strength and persistence). Since a rock mass is not a continuum, its behavior is dominated by such discontinuities as faults, joints and bedding planes. Also, Rock slope instability is a major hazard for human activities and o...
