Pressures on the support columns buried in iron ore stockpiles

Theoretical and experimental determination of the pressure distribution on a loaded conveyor belt

“…Tactile pressure sensors have been proven to produce acceptable measurements of the pressure in both static and dynamic environment for scientific purposes, e.g. the normal stress distribution in a Jenike shear cell [11], the normal wall stresses in hoppers [12], loads on the support structures buried in bulk stockpiles [13], the pressure within the rail/tie interface [14].…”
