Calibration for Material Handling Equipments

Learn more about DEM Calibration for Material Handling Equipments

In this webinar you will learn more about DEM Calibration for Material Handling Equipments, the advantages of appropriate DEM calibration, and how a wide range of industries have benefitted from using this method, with advantages like the development of projects in reduced time, increased production and excellent economic return.

Agenda

Brief overview of DEM and fundamental principles
Discussion of important parameters in DEM
Relationship between DEM parameters and physical material characteristics
Usefulness of “standard” material tests (established flow property testing)
Specialised DEM calibration tests
Translation of test results to selection of DEM parameters
Selected Case Studies

Dr. Tim Donohue

Engineering Manager, TUNRA Bulk Solids

Dr Tim Donohue is employed as the Engineering Manager with TUNRA Bulk Solids and has been employed with TUNRA for almost 10 years. Prior to this, Tim completed 8 years studying at the University of Newcastle to obtain his BE (Mech) undergraduate degree and his PhD on the topic of porosity and permeability in porous materials. Tim’s current role with TUNRA allows an oversight into many consulting and research projects but also allows him to keep up to date with current analysis methods and technologies. Current research includes both CFD and DEM modelling with a focus on materials handling applications, however fundamental research into material calibration is also ongoing. Tim awarded the A.W. Roberts medal and also serves on the scientific committee of the International Conference Series on Discrete Element Methods.
