Abstract: A detailed nonlinear finite-element analysis is undertaken of the wall pressures exerted by iron ore pellets in a full-scale silo experiment. The ring stiffeners on the exterior of the silo wall cause local small axisymmetric ...

Abstract: The most demanding design situations for silo structures usually occur at the onset of discharge, when the silo is still almost full of granular solid. In this condition, the pattern of solids flow affects the wall pressures, ...

Abstract: Silo honking is an acoustical emission with a fundamental frequency of several hundred Hertz and an intensity often greater than
