Particle Flow Simulation on the Influences of Property Parameters of Semi-Fixed Abrasive Plate on its ‘Trap’ Effect

This paper analyzes the property parameters influences of semi-fixed abrasive plate on the ‘trap’ effect with discrete element simulation by Particle Flow Code (PFC). The effects of the property parameters such as porosity, hardness and size of the abrasive particles, friction coefficient between the abrasive particles and the bonding agent concentration are simulated. The simulation results show that porosity, friction coefficient, bonding agent concentration has great influences on the ‘trap’ effect, while hardness and size of the abrasive particles almost have no effect. Grey incidence analysis is carried to determine the influence degree of porosity, friction coefficient, bonding agent concentration, and the results show that the most important factor is the porosity, followed by the friction coefficient, and then the bonding agent concentration.
