    Prediction of Wear in A Dumper Truck Body by Coupling SPH-FEM and Dem/Fem

    Uploaded by

    Oscar Orozco
    This document summarizes research on predicting wear in dump truck bodies. Field measurements of wear on two dump truck body designs were taken. Wear was then modeled using coupled SPH-FEM and DEM/FEM methods to simulate material interactions and pressure distribution. The SPH method modeled extreme deformations using particles, while DEM used discrete rigid particles to model granular material interactions like rock loading. Results from both methods matched measured pressure maps and wear rates, showing the potential for using these numerical simulations to predict dump truck body wear.
