Precise evaluation of the dynamics of granular material during hopper discharge,
particularly the velocity field coupled with the stress field, has been an important area of …

Silos are structures widely used in the industrial and agricultural sectors. Despite the
advances in research during the last century, many uncertainties still remain. Some of the …

The mechanical properties of the materials stored in agricultural silos determine the loads
they generate under static and dynamic conditions. The present work describes the …

In order to study the earthquake action of the grain bulk material-steel silo structure, a
numerical model of flat-bottom steel silo with the same size as the shaking table test …

For the shallow and circular silo (SCS), when the aspect ratio is between 1.0 and 1.5, the
lateral pressure especially dynamic pressure may cause destruction if the size of the silo is …

Highlights•Product accommodation is influenced by the slenderness of the silo.•The moment
of maximum pressure in the transition is influenced by the slenderness.•The slenderness of …

Major safety accidents involving silos in industrial processes are closely associated with
abnormal wall stresses. The effects of different flow patterns and particle velocity distribution …

The blockage and the deformation and failure of the ore pass walls constitute two major
problems in applying the ore passes in mines. These problems, which affect the normal …

The gravity flow of granular materials through a flat-bottomed rectangular silo is examined
using experiments, the discrete element method (DEM), and continuum models. The flow is …

The loads generated inside agricultural silos under static and dynamic conditions depend
on the mechanical properties of the materials stored inside them. Silo calculation …
