“…The differences related to each method were statistically significant (p<0.05). Similar results have been reported by Molenda et al (2001) for wheat, and Horabik and Rusinek (2002) for some cereal grains. Lateral pressure ratio is necessary to calculate pressures acting on the walls (standards such as Eurocode1, 2006;DIN1055-6, 1987AS3774, 1996) in silos.…”

“…Poisson ratio was used to determine the minimum slope of flow at the self emptying bin in a silo hopper and the stress distribution in the silo wall at ANSYS finite element software. Molenda et al (2001) also reported the same results for soybean meal and corn meal. Moya et al (2006) reported both decreased and increased Poisson ratios at different shear speeds (0.19 and 1.02 mm min -1 ) of various agricultural products (amelia chickpea, flaxseed, lentil, rice, rye, horzal wheat).…”

“…These mechanical properties have been studied with the direct shear test for various agricultural materials which by many researchers such as Molenda et al (2001) for wheat, corn meal, and soybean meal, Zou and Brusewitz (2001) for marigold, and Moya et al (2002a) for barley, corn, oat, sunflower, lentil vetch, and wheat. Agricultural enterprises have increased in size and have incorporated mechanized feeding systems which require reliable grain handling equipment.…”

A b s t r a c t. The direct shear test are widely used to measure the bulk material properties for economical design of bulk handling equipment and to estimate wall pressure inside storage structures, namely their bulk density, the angle of internal friction, shear strength, Poisson ratio, and lateral pressure ratios are required. Tests were conducted at thirty six different shear speeds (between 0.30-1.00 mm min -1 ) and three different normal stresses were applied (60, 120 and 180 kPa). The angle of internal friction, Poisson ratio, and lateral pressure ratios demonstrated fluctuations depending on the shear speeds. The results of the principal component analysis indicated that the first three principal components accounted for 97.40% of the total variability among the thirty six different shear speeds for all the traits investigated. The first principal component was the most important. In the result of principal component analysis, the shear speeds were divided into seven clusters. The pressures were decreased and increased with the change of the angle of internal friction and the lateral pressure ratio. The data obtained from the study will be useful in the structural design of dry bean bins to calculate loads on bins from the stored material and grain handling equipment.K e y w o r d s: dry bean, direct shear test, the angle of internal friction, principal component analysis, cluster analysis INTRODUCTION

“…Also, flow problems in silos such as arching, ratholing, irregular flow and segregation occur with increased MC (Kibar et al, 2010). Molenda and Horabik (2005) mentioned that according to Canadian Farm Building Code, increase in MC of stored grain may result in a six fold increase in pressure acting on silo wall. DEM could be very potential to recognize and embed the effects of MC in simulation, because of its intrinsic character which simulate bulk solids properties through material and interaction properties of grains.…”

Discrete Element Method (DEM) modeling was conducted for predicting strength properties of stored wheat grains in different levels of moisture contents, to extend the knowledge of grain storage beyond current experimental studies in the future. The main features of agricultural and food materials that make them different from mineral materials are strong influence of Moisture Content (MC) on mechanical behavior. Published data on grain and bulk properties of wheat relevant to DEM modeling were reviewed by considering the effect of MC. The shape of grains was modeled by Multi Sphere Method (MSM) and the interaction between grains was represented by linear and nonlinear frictional elastic contact models. The effect of MC was considered in simulation through an innovative procedure. The initial test was performed to choose the best models to perform the simulation. Statistical comparisons with relevant experimental result were conducted on simulation data. It has been proved that the DEM is able to capture the variation of strength properties of wheat with MC of grains. It is observed the simplest shape of grain models would allow us to obtain quite closely prediction of wheat strength parameters. Also the linear elastic contact model has more capability in representing the form of strength properties variation with MC. This suggests that the modeling is a useful tool in the study of mechanical behavior of wheat and other cereal grains during storage processes as well as provision of data necessary in the future design of appropriate machinery and structure.

Biomass size reduction is an important step in biomass densification and this article reviews reduction studies. Hammermilling technology had the advantage of low maintenance over other methods including crushing, shearing and rollermilling. A review of equipment design parameters showed that hammermill tip speed, power requirements, grinding rate, screen size, and clearance affect performance to varying degrees. The effects of biomass tensile and shear properties, moisture content, and biomass density were noted in size reduction processes.
