APPLYING DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING TO THE ROTOR COMPONENTS OF A HORIZONTAL SHAFT HAMMER MILL

Ioan BUDĂCAN, Ioan DEAC

Abstract


In the present paper it’s presented a DEM (Discrete Element Modeling) structural analysis that was used for the components of the rotor from a horizontal hammer mill. During operation they are subject to centrifugal forces caused by the rotation of the rotor. A detailed simulation study was conducted to investigate the deformations of the rotor components, the tensions that appear during operation and their variation transversely through dangerous zone.
