Abstract
The impact of material properties and process parameters are determined using a continuum model. Normal stresses for roller compaction are calculated from Johanson's rolling theory. The boundary between the slip and nip regions is calculated using Johanson's criterion, i.e. gradients of stress in slip and nip regions are assumed to be equal at nip angle. Shear stresses are calculated from the normal stresses using the method of Schonert and Sander.
INPUT PARAMETERS:
Roll Gap / Roll Diameter,
Effective angle of friction,
Applied feed pressure,
Horizontal load ratio,
Compressibility.
OUTPUT:
Normal stress plot,
Shear stress plot,
Nip angle,
Slip region gradient plot,
Nip region gradient plot.
