Scientific novelty
The use of a universal software and hardware complex to determine the parameters of the bulk material under study. This development can be used for a wide range of bulk materials with different physical and mechanical properties. The development includes a test bench, as well as computer vision algorithms and a neural network to obtain the parameters of the material being studied.
Advantages
High-precision determination of friction coefficients for the bulk material under study. The obtained coefficients are essential for calculating parameters of designed equipment and setting process parameters in the mining and processing industry; creation of a digital model of bulk materials. Determined material parameters can be transferred to a numerical model of the process, allowing for adequate reproduction of bulk material behavior in the model; increased production efficiency and more comprehensive knowledge of ongoing processes, resulting in reduced accident rates and improved production safety. More comprehensive automation of the technological process leads to improved working conditions for shop floor employees.
Commercial implementation
The primary consumers of the proposed product may include both manufacturing enterprises (e.g., mining and processing plants) and design/research organizations and institutes involved in mechanical engineering design and the study of bulk media dynamics.
