Discrete Element Method Analysis for Metal Powders Used in Additive Manufacturing, and DEM Simulation Tutorial Using LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC [PowerPoint and paper]

Technical Report Shenouda, S. ; Hoff, A.

Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a method of analysis to evaluate the dynamic interactions between granular particles. This method has been used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the powder compaction process for tablet manufacturing. There are also applications in agriculture, food industry, and manufacturing. Direct energy deposition is an additive manufacturing technique which uses metallic powders fed through a nozzle, melted using a directed laser, and transformed into a solid object layer by layer. One way of feeding metal particles into the system involves the use of a vibrating hopper. Given a specified amplitude and frequency input, the hoppermore »« less
Particles climbing along a vertically vibrating tube: numerical simulation using the Discrete Element Method (DEM)

Journal Article Xu, Yupeng ; Musser, Jordan ; Li, Tingwen ; ... - Powder Technology

It has been reported experimentally that granular particles can climb along a vertically vibrating tube partially inserted inside a granular silo. Here, we use the Discrete Element Method (DEM) available in the Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges (MFIX) code to investigate this phenomenon. By tracking the movement of individual particles, the climbing mechanism was illustrated and analyzed. The numerical results show that a sufficiently high vibration strength is needed to form a low solids volume fraction region inside the lower end of the vibrating tube, a dense region in the middle of the tube, and to bring the particles outsidemore »« less

Simulation of Mechanical Fractionation of Chopped Whole-Plant Corn (WPC) Using Discrete Element Method (DEM)

Journal Article Zhao, Yumeng ; Tekeste, Mehari Z. ; Schramm, Matthew W. ; ... - Journal of the ASABE

Fractionating whole-plant corn (WPC) in a single-pass harvesting system requires studies on the WPC-to-equipment interaction for improved property control, as well as mechanical and air-driven separation processes compared to the traditional multi-pass grain and stover harvesting system. The discrete element method (DEM) technique has the potential to simulate WPC mechanical fractionation and support simulation-based design of WPC separation processes. In this study, methods to develop DEM particle models of WPC (kernel, cob, stalk, and husk) and their material properties for simulating mass fractionation using the ASABE standard mechanical shaker were proposed. Measurement was done on the axial dimensions (major, intermediate,more »« less
