This paper outlines the development and verification of a finite element model for the filling
pressure distribution in a square planform silo with flexible walls. The flexibility of the walls …

The pressures exerted on the walls of rectangular planform steel flexible-walled silos by
several different stored granular bulk solids are investigated using a validated finite element …

In this paper, a validated finite element model for silo filling pressures in square vertical
walled metal silos is used to generate new information in pursuit of the development of …

The effects of different assumptions about the boundary conditions in a finite element model
of a circular planform flat-bottomed slender silo are reported. The predicted wall pressure …

A 3D finite element model (FEM) for predicting the distribution of lateral pressure in a square
flexible walled steel silo during the filling phase was analyzed in this study. The numerical …

Since about the late-1970s, stirred mills have entered into use in the mineral processing
industry. Much work has focused on model developed for power, grinding and performance …

This study proposes a modification for the current design approach for square and
rectangular silos that accounts for silos' wall flexibility. First, the authors investigated the …
