The Janssen equation is a widely used method for calculating pressures in bulk storage
structures. This review explores the historical legacy of Janssen's equation and its …

This study provides insight into the effect of eccentric loading on soil arching. A numerical
trapdoor model was developed using the discrete element method to investigate the …

High-stress breakage during storage and processing is one of the primary factors in the
decline of rice quality. To reveal the mechanical response law under this condition, confined …

This study evaluates the shadowing effect of existing tunnels on the evolution of soil arching,
focusing on the shape of the tunnel (circular and rectangular) through trapdoor experiments …

Soil arching is inevitably affected by external loading; however, the influence of surcharge
width has been not fully understood. In this study, the arching effect under six surcharge …

We investigate the distribution of stresses transmitted by a compressed powder onto the
containing vessel base and side walls. We make high sensitivity and resolution …

In the present study, we perform a series of physical model experiments and numerical
simulations to examine the effect of fabric orientation on angle of repose. The results show …

We present measurements of the vertical stress profile σ on the base of flat-bottomed
cylindrical silos discharged through an orifice centered on its base. An overweight forces the …

The semi‐underground double‐storey squat silo (SUDSSS) is a new type of silo with the
advantages of preserving grain quality. In this paper, a numerical model of SUDSSS was …

The angle of repose and characteristics of the base stress distribution underneath granular
piles serve as essential indicators in understanding the mechanical and packing properties …
