Modelling and Characterisation of Stringy/Compressible Bulk Materials

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The development of new technologies in the treatment of waste products, recycling of green and paper waste and the use of biomass fuels has created the need for a new approach in the handling of non-conventional bulk solids. The Mohr-Coulomb models that are traditionally used to characterise granular materials do not adequately describe the nature of these stringy and compressible bulk solids. This project will address this problem by developing new constitutive models and characterisation techniques for this class of materials. This work will provide the necessary tools to address a series of pressing problems in several emerging technologies.
