Modelling and Characterisation of Stringy/Compressible Bulk Materials

在处理废物产品、回收绿色废物和纸张废物以及使用生物质燃料方面的新技术的发展，产生了处理非常规散装固体的新办法的必要性。传统上用来描述颗粒状物质的莫尔-库仑模型不能充分描述这些粘性和可压缩的散装固体的性质。这个项目将通过为这类材料开发新的本构模型和表征技术来解决这个问题。这项工作将提供必要的工具，以解决几项新兴技术中的一系列紧迫问题。

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.
