Finite Element Analysis for Normal-Temperature Wet Briquetting of Straws

Abstract:

As one of important technologies for briquettes production from straws, the normal-temperature wet briquetting technology of straws shows important practical significance in place of fossil fuels that are progressively reduced. According to the characteristics of the normal-temperature wet briquetting of straws having large displacement and large strain, this article provided a finite element calculation method for non-linear straw problems using the large-deformation elastic-plasticity principle. Based on description of straw status by Lagrange method, analyses were performed for deformation gradient tensor, displacement gradient tensor and rigid body movement, and then finite element equations were established for the normal-temperature wet briquetting of straws according to the Green strain, Drucker-Prager criterion and balance principle, providing references for numerical simulation for the normal-temperature wet briquetting of straws with computer software.
