Silo as a System of Self‐Induced Vibration
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper deals with the experimental investigation of dynamic pressure exerted by a granular material (grit) on the walls of a silo. Experimental set‐up with the pressure measuring technique and recorded investigation results are presented. Using dimensional analysis, a formula for the pressure on the walls of a silo is developed in terms of dimensionless parameters, ir(. The self‐induced vibration theory is used to interpret the experimental results. The general scheme of self‐induced vibration systems is examined and a silo with the granular material is identified as one of the self‐induced vibration systems.
