Abstract

The simulation of mass motion using a vibrating device that was laboratory designed was the main idea of the work. The construction of an experimental vibrating device and the associated measuring station along with the measurement of dynamic properties of the vibrating device depending on preselected input parameters of the device of bulk material on this experimental model is presented. The simulation of the general behavior of particles on an experimental vibrating device at rotational frequencies of 20 Hz, 25 Hz and 35 Hz, and the rotation of contact vibrators at 30°, 45° and 75° by mass flow modeling using software ROCKY DEM is done. It was observed that the particles were moving at the fastest speed at 45° and at 35 Hz and that the top layers fall to the bottom especially at higher rotational frequencies, which may ultimately cause aeration of the particulate matter, thus reducing the angle of internal friction of the bulk material.
