20.500.12556/DKUM-91993 Wear simulation of the conveyor belt transfer chute using the DEM This paper presents a wear simulation-based performance evaluation of the conveyor belt transfer chute using the DEM (Discrete Element Method). Compared to known analytical and empirical wear models, DEM simulation can significantly increase the performance of wear analysis by enabling the analysis and optimization of highly complex geometries of material handling systems such as conveyor belt transfer chutes. Only the correct design of the conveyor belt transfer chute has the potential to significantly extend its service life, resulting in considerable cost savings. Based on the parametric analysis of different angles and radius in the upper head and lower section of the transfer chute, a new geometry of the transfer chute was proposed. The wear depth of the new conveyor belt transfer chute is compared with the wear resistant and low-carbon steel of the transfer chute along with the moderate and relatively high values of the solid granules mass flow. The results show that the wear depth of the transfer chute can be significantly reduced by using the wear-resistant steel compared to the low-carbon steel, which is significantly evident in high throughput rates of the solid granules mass flow. bulk material flow Discrete Element Method (DEM) transfer chute wear simulation archard and relative wear performance analysis tok razsutega materiala metoda diskretnih elementov simulacija obrabe žleba za prenos relativna obraba analiza zmogljivosti true false true DAAAM International Vienna Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.ijsimm.com/ Članek v reviji 2025-03-10 14:54:39 2025-03-10 14:54:40 2025-03-11 03:12:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 77-88 no. 1 Vol. 23 March 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-03-01 621.798:004.94 188073731 10.2507/IJSIMM23-1-673 1726-4529 text23-1_673.pdf text23-1_673.pdf 1 BE80E3E721D4D29CADDB92FBD93969E2 215810421b8978a4bdc1914f7d8dd2d597b8246e12ae51cc32596215d60ee093 5fac447a-fdb7-11ef-b09f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=189112 https://www.ijsimm.com/Full_Papers/Fulltext2024/text23-1_673.pdf 0 68e9a4ee-fdb7-11ef-b09f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=189113 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
