DEM - Wearing

particle wear on an inclined plate

Simulate particles sliding down an inclined plate and wearing it by Archard's law, with the worn surface fed back into contact.

Highlights

A question it answers

Where on an inclined liner does a stream of sliding particles wear first, and how does the wear footprint move with inclination, friction or feed rate?

What you put in

Plate inclination (5 to 80 degrees from horizontal), length, width and thickness, and mesh divisions along and across the slope; particle radius (2 to 15 mm), density, feed rate, drop height, duration and random seed; particle-to-particle contact on or off; friction coefficient, restitution, normal contact stiffness, wear coefficient C (worn volume per joule of wall work) and wall work share. Inputs lock once a run starts; Reset to edit them.

What you get

Live 3D view of the particles and the plate coloured by wear depth or nodal wall work, with the initial outline and a visual-only depth magnifier; removed material from the closed-mesh volume difference beside the Archard-predicted loss and the volume-balance error; maximum recession; frictional shear work and assigned wall work; peak overlap relative to the radius; the affected footprint area with its initial and remaining volume; a removal-history chart; and downloads of a results JSON, a history CSV, and the worn and initial plate as STL in millimetres.
