Mohajeri, M. (author), de Kluijver, Wilbert (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), van Rhee, C. (author), Schott, D.L. (author)The traditional design approach of grabs and other bulk handling equipment consists of manufacturing and testing physical prototypes. A novel design approach is to use a co-simulation of MultiBody Dynamics (MBD) and Discrete Element Method (DEM), in which the virtual prototype of a new concept interacts with bulk solids. Therefore, this study...journal article 2021

Schott, D.L. (author), Mohajeri, M. (author), Jovanova, J. (author), Lommen, S.W. (author), de Kluijver, Wilbert (author)The design of machinery for handling granular materials relies mainly on empirical methods and in-house engineering knowledge. This traditional approach provides incremental improvements that are often limited. Advancements in simulation and optimization can offer a promising alternative approach. Most of the research involved in improving or...journal article 2021
