Vibrating sieve is a special kind of equipment which used to grading materials according to particle granularity. By the vibration acted on the sieve, the materials are loosed, are divided into layers, are transported and are permeated the sieve to screen the materials. Discrete Element Method (DEM) has been an effective numerical method to research the granule system motion. Using Particle Flow Code (PFC) based DEM, the screening process, the particle group motions on the screen, are simulated. How the amplitude, the frequency of vibration, the vibration direction angle, the decline degree of sieve effect screening efficiency are presented.

Based on Hertz-Mindlin contact model in software EDEM by discrete element method, using linear vibrating screen 360 mm×600 mm, movement characteristics of particle group on sieve plate and law of particles going through sieve plate were studied in screening process of coal in certain conditions, which were as follows: dip angle was 0 °, amplitude was 5 mm, frequency was 11 Hz. The simulation test results show that there are important influences of vibration direction on screening process. And influence law of vibration direction on screening effect was revealed finally. The paper also gained mathematical model between particle group’s screening efficiency and vibration direction angle, and mathematical models of particles easy or hard to sieve and material between average movement speeds and vibration direction angle.

With the increasing requirements for energy conservation and environmental protection, multi-layer vibrating screens have become hot issues. Compared with single-layer vibrating screens, multi-layer vibrating screens has much better performance in terms of processing effect, treatment capacity, and environmental protection. The research on the physical parameters of the multi-layer vibrating screen is of great significance to the actual production. However, analysis and simulation studies of multi-layer vibrating screens are limited. In this paper, the screening process of wet particles on a multi-layer vibrating screen was simulated by using the discrete element method. The characteristics and application scope of the two vibration modes were analyzed. The particle penetration rate, the number of collisions, and the distribution of the particles under 23 combinations of structures and vibration parameters were investigated. The influence of different parameters on screening performance was analyzed. Several optimal combinations of frequency, amplitude and screen inclination angle under different working conditions were obtained. The screening efficiency of the balanced elliptic motion is higher than that of the linear motion. The best combination of the three parameters is 4 mm amplitude, 20 Hz frequency, and 3° inclination angle. The efficiency is higher when the particles follow a distribution of arithmetic on the screen. This study provides a reference for the efficient operation and optimal design of large multi-layer screening equipment.

Fracture Grouting

Due to the complication of grouting process in soil, design of fracture grouting works is still mainly based on empirical considerations and experiences from past projects. Based on the theory of particle flow, the domain of flow is defined by using Fish language implemented in PFC and the formulas for flow and pressure are put forward respectively. Combined with above study, the process of fracture grouting in soil is simulated with particle flow code (PFC2D) from micro-viewpoint under coupling environment. In addition, the emergence and development of crack and grouting pressure in soil is analyzed under different grouting pressure and soil properties. The research results show that pressure plays a key role in consolidating the soil by fracture grouting, but in fact it should be kept in a reasonable value in order to forming grouting slurry net entirely. Filed test indicates that fracture grouting greatly increases the bearing capacity of weathered rock in Xiamen Xiangan subsea tunneling and the conclusions of numerical simulation agrees well with the field test and grouting theory.
