Abstract
The stacking test based on response surface method (RSM) was carried out to calibrate the simulation parameters of buckwheat grain by discrete element method (DEM). The static friction coefficient of buckwheat-buckwheat and that of buckwheat-steel are significant factors affecting the repose angle. A quadratic polynomial model for the repose angle and the 2 significant parameters was established and optimized. The optimal combination was obtained: buckwheat-buckwheat static friction coefficient of 0.482, buckwheat-steel static friction coefficient of 0.446. It was found that there was no significant difference between the results of the simulation test and physical test (P>0.05), indicating that the parameter calibration method based on RSM is feasible. The calibrated parameters can provide reference to the simulation of buckwheat production process and machineries design.
