Applications of the discrete element method in mechanical engineering

Compared to other fields of engineering, in mechanical engineering, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) is not yet a well known method. Nevertheless, there is a variety of simulation problems where the method has obvious advantages due to its meshless nature. For problems where several free bodies can collide and break after having been largely deformed, the DEM is the method of choice. Neighborhood search and collision detection between bodies as well as the separation of large solids into smaller particles are naturally incorporated in the method. The main DEM algorithm consists of a relatively simple loop that basically contains the three substeps contact detection, force computation and integration. However, there exists a large variety of different algorithms to choose the substeps to compose the optimal method for a given problem. In this contribution, we describe the dynamics of particle systems together with appropriate numerical integration schemes and give an overview over different types of particle interactions that can be composed to adapt the method to fit to a given simulation problem. Surface triangulations are used to model complicated, non-convex bodies in contact with particle systems. The capabilities of the method are finally demonstrated by means of application examples.

中间馏分油型加氢裂化催化剂用沸石的研究

通过水热处理法制备了3个不同脱铝深度的改性Y沸石，再经浸渍法制成中间馏分油型加氢裂化催化剂，在200mL小型加氢裂化装置上进行了催化性能评价。试验结果表明，除了沸石的酸性外，其孔结构和比表面积对催化剂的活性、中间馏分油选择性和液体收率都有很大的影响，为最大幅度提高催化剂的中间馏分油选择性并保持较好活性，要求沸石具有较低的酸量、较高的比表面积和较多的二次孔及适量的L酸量。
