- Description
- This paper presents an investigation of active and passive stress states induced in bulk solid materials due to the transverse opening and closing of the conveyor belt. The relationship between active and passive stress states to the subsequent load profile exerted by the bulk solid material on the belt was modeled and examined using Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) simulations and results are compared to experimental results and existing theory.
