Deformation and Breakage of Agglomerates: 3D Printing, Experiment and Numerical Analysis
My PhD research project entitled “Creating tuneable agglomerates via 3D printing” is funded by International Fine Particle Research Institute (IFPRI) and Australia ARC Discovery grant. The original objective of this project is to develop a particulate system and experimental methodology to validate particle models.
This research has demonstrated, for the first time, how new 3D printing technology can be used to bring “in silico” particles into the physical environment. This method can be widely adopted across the particle modelling community in future and lead to a step change in DEM model sophistication, accuracy and industrial utility
