Uniaxial compression of bulk material using a flexible plate via EDEM-FEA coupling is used for studying how granular or bulk materials behave under vertical compression by a deformable (flexible) structure.
The granules are modelled using EDEM, while the compressing plate, enclosed box and punch is modelled as deformable bodies using OptiStruct (Explicit).
To simulate bulk material compaction under uniaxial loading by a flexible plate, to predict:
