Abstract To improve the application of discrete element models (DEM) to the design of agricultural crushers, in this study
a new highly accurate model is elaborated. The model takes into account the fiber structure, porous nature of the
material and the leaf sheath coating structure. Dedicated experimental tests are conducted to determine the
required “intrinsic” and basic contact parameters of the considered banana straw materials. A large number of
bonding parameters are examined in relation to the particle aggregation model in order to characterize different
actual banana straws. Using the particle surface energy contact model, the viscosity characteristics of the crushed… More >
