Simulation of the Compression and Impact Behavior of Zeolith 4A Granules
Granules that consist of 1000 primary particles have been generated. To calibrate the mechanical properties, the force-displacement behaviour at simulated compression test has been fitted to the force-displacement behaviour of zeolite 4A granules. The normal impact has been simulated against a rigid wall at different impact velocities.
