Abstract


The article presents the preliminary results of numerical simulations of the densification process of shredded waste wood. The purpose of the simulation was to evaluate the possibility of using the Drucker-Prager-Cap model in the field of modeling plastic deformation of shredded biomaterials. The experimental studies allowed the verification of numerical simulations. In the research, the stamp-cylinder assembly of a special construction was used, adapted for assembly on a strength machine. The tests carried out are to constitute guidelines for the construction of machinery and devices for compacting biomass.
