fracture energy for Tavares Breakage Model

Dazhao Gou_20984

Hi all,

I have used the Tavares Breakage Model for single-particle compaction, but the new fracture energy in the EDEM didn't change (keep particle without broken) during the repeated compaction, it should decrease with the process (Emin = 1e-6). The parameters of this model are shown below. Which parameter is set wrong in this model. Thank you!

Regards,

Dazhao

Hi,

I'd reccomend looking at the in-built breakage model which is now available.  We have a tutorial on this model here:

EDEM Tutorial 4: Tavares Breakage for SAG Mill

For the API version it is always important that the name in the text file matches the name in EDEM, otherwise the parameters would not apply to the correct particle type.

Regards
