The quality requirements for recycling products are continuously being tightened. This was taken as an opportunity to focus on innovation on the further development of mobile crushing and screening plants and contribute to improving the quality of the produced grain products. Simulation is a tool that is used in this thesis to improve the system understanding of various components and to accelerate the development of new prototypes. In particular, the multi-body and particle simulations are used to look at the influence of the moving particles on the crushing and screening cycle, with a focus on particle-boundery interaction, particle-particle interaction, power requirements of the drive units, effect of vibration modes on particle trajectories, detection of zones of increased wear and fracture models.
In the course of the PhD thesis, the influence of various particle loads on moving bodies will be demonstrated with the creation of scalable models through the collaboration of different simulation methods.
The aim is to develop models that are very close to real systems, whereby the determination of unknown system parameters is in the foreground.
