The aim of this paper is to design samples with an optimal convex pattern for steel plates of 100 mm by 100 mm to verify the simulation results in a test rig for industrial scale experiments in Newcastle, Australia. In order to find an optimal convex pattern, a stepwise optimization, one-factor-at-a-time, is performed by optimizing four parameters of convex patterns. The geometric convex patterns were evaluated with the aid of Discrete Element Method (DEM). The simulated material was iron ore with d50 of 4.6 mm sliding down a smooth chute transitioning into bionic surfaces of different geometric configurations. Hertz-Mindlin (no slip) model with the Archard wear model were implemented to calculate the sliding wear volume.

Considering the direct relation between the dimensions of convexes and the sizes of particles, the ratios of a0, b0, c0 and d0 to d50 were used for analysis simulation results. The results show that a chute surface with circular convexes with a radius of 6 mm (a0:d50=1.3), spaced 25 mm apart in both horizontal and vertical directions (c0:d50=5.4), is optimal in reducing wear. This sample configuration and smooth surface will be tested to verify the predictability of the simulation approach.]]> Wed 10 May 2023 13:20:02 AEST ]]> Optimization of a convex pattern surface for sliding wear reduction based on a definitive screening design and discrete element method https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43991 Wed 05 Oct 2022 14:43:23 AEDT ]]> Measurement and simulation of the bulk solid load on a conveyor belt during transportation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33572 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:48:20 AEST ]]> Study of the wall adhesive tensile contact of moist iron ore bulk solids https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40848 Tue 19 Jul 2022 11:15:19 AEST ]]> Computer simulation of airflow around transfer chutes via linked discrete element method - computational fluid dynamics approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25996 Tue 16 Oct 2018 12:03:58 AEDT ]]> Conveying and Construction Machinery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41860 Tue 16 Aug 2022 12:19:23 AEST ]]> Experimental and numerical investigation on the load stability of coal cargoes during marine transport https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46358 Tue 15 Nov 2022 14:40:55 AEDT ]]> DEM simulations on gate loads and bin storage characteristics before discharge https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46359 3774 considers that gate loads are highly dependent on the degrees of bulk solids compressibility and gate structure rigidity and calculates gate loads in an empirical way. However, our previous experimental work has found that ASAS₃₇₇₄ overestimates the gate loads of a test bin operating with iron ore. In this study, the research is extended by using the DEM to describe the gate loads, in conjunction with the bin storage characteristics. The simulation results are compared to the experimental measurements and the theoretical predictions. It is suggested that the passive stress state may be partially ignited due to the deformation of the bulk solids and gate supports before discharge.]]> Tue 15 Nov 2022 14:40:51 AEDT ]]> The influence of steel cord conveyor belt dimensions on indentation rolling resistance performance https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34047 Tue 05 Feb 2019 11:19:55 AEDT ]]> Modelling the stability of iron ore bulk cargoes during marine transport https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32997 Thu 30 Jan 2020 11:26:08 AEDT ]]> Calibration and verification of DEM parameters for dynamic particle flow conditions using a backpropagation neural network https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38733 Thu 20 Jan 2022 14:25:01 AEDT ]]> Thermal investigation and optimised design of a ship loader https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42695 Thu 01 Sep 2022 09:34:33 AEST ]]> Reducing dust emissions from grain handling ship loaders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2974 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:43:08 AEDT ]]> Non-constant radius curve profiles in controlling lateral belt drift through horizontal curves in belt conveyor systems https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11662 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:31:54 AEDT ]]> A pseudo 3D analysis of the indentation rolling resistance problem https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8871 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:03 AEDT ]]> Optimising belt conveyor design using CEMA's universal method https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8956 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:11 AEDT ]]> A comparison of the stress distribution in steel cable and fabric reinforced conveyor belt https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8957 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:11 AEDT ]]> Discrete element modeling of bulk solid active and passive stress states on a belt conveyor test rig https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8933 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:05 AEDT ]]> Investigation of bulk solid material load profiles on a belt conveyor test rig using DEM https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11675 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:42 AEDT ]]> Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling of transfer chutes: a study of the influence of model parameters https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18738 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:49 AEDT ]]> Sliding-mode control of an electromagnetic actuated conveyance system using contactless sensing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18726 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:45 AEDT ]]> Laboratory measurement of the indentation rolling resistance of conveyor belts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29534 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:32:28 AEDT ]]> Modelling of an innovative rail conveyor system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30055 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:14 AEDT ]]> Energy efficient belt conveyor design https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23260 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:01 AEDT ]]> How to design energy efficient belt conveyors https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23016 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:35 AEDT ]]> Assessment of the dynamic pressure measurement on a loaded conveyor belt using a tactile pressure sensor https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23006 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:43 AEDT ]]> Quantification of the pressure distribution on a loaded conveyor belt using a tactile pressure sensor https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23007 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:43 AEDT ]]> Bulk solid and conveyor belt interactions during transport https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23693 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:26 AEDT ]]> Advances in predicting the indentation rolling resistance of conveyor belts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23505 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:04 AEDT ]]> Modelling of material removal due to sliding wear caused by bulk material https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50638 Mon 31 Jul 2023 16:20:56 AEST ]]> The Warman -
