Abstract
The fundamentals of cohesive particulate solids' consolidation and flow properties using a reasonable combination of particle and continuum mechanics by means of micro/macrotransition of the "characteristic particle contact" are explained. The adhesion force models of Tomas (2001a) are used to derive the stationary, instantaneous T S1 time yield loci and consolidation loci. Next, the uniaxial compressive strength σ c ( σ 1 ), effective angle of internal friction } e ( σ 1 ), and bulk density 𝜌 b ( σ 1 ) are obtained as powder constitutive functions. The approach has been shown to be effective for the data evaluation of cohesive powder flow properties, like a very cohesive titania nanopowder (surface diameter d s = 200 nm, solid density 𝜌 s = 3870kg/m 3 ) with the fit r 2 xy > 0.95. Finally, these models in combination with accurate shear cell test results are used as constitutive functions for computer-aided silo design for reliable flow.
