ASSESSMENT OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COHESIVE PARTICULATE SOLIDS – PART 1: PARTICLE CONTACT CONSTITUTIVE MODEL JÜRGEN TOMAS Mechanical Process Engineering The Otto-von-Guericke-University Universitätsplatz 2, D - 39106 Magdeburg, Germany ABSTRACT The fundamentals of cohesive particulate solids’ consolidation and flow properties using a reasonable combination of particle and continuum mechanics are explained. By means of the model “stiff particles with soft contacts”, the combined influence of elastic, elastoplastic and viscoplastic repulsion in particle contacts is derived. As result, contact normal force displacement F (h ) and adhesion force models F (F ) are presented that describe the N K H N instantaneous and time consolidation behaviour at characteristic (averaged) particle contacts. The approach has been shown to be effective for the data evaluation of a very cohesive titania 3 nanopowder (surface diameter d = 200 nm, solid density ρ = 3870 kg/m ). S s 1 Introduction The well-known flow problems of cohesive particulate solids in storage and transportation containers, conveyors or process apparatuses include bridging, channelling and oscillating mass flow rates. In addition, flow problems are related to particle characteristics associated with feeding and dosing, as well as undesired effects like widely spread residence time distribution, fertiliser time consolidation process or caking, chemical conversions and food deterioration. Finally, insufficient apparatus
