Precise evaluation of the dynamics of granular material during hopper discharge, particularly the velocity field coupled with the stress field, has been an important area of …
This paper investigates the dynamic buckling behavior of steel silos subjected to horizontal base excitations. The elastic-plastic buckling resistance of three silos with different aspect …
Steel silos are one of the main structures for bulk solids handling and storage in many industries and agricultural sectors. A growing body of research suggests the importance of …

Very few experimental installations in the world have full-scale silos, and very few assays have been conducted on them. Consequently, numerous unresolved questions remain …
The aim of this paper is the development of new models and/or the improvement of existing numerical models, used for simulating granular flow in CFB (circulating fluidized bed) …
