Stress Analysis of Silo Hopper: by G. Sangareeswari U. Ganesan

This document summarizes a project analyzing the stress on a silo hopper structure made of two different carbon steel materials. Silo hoppers are used to store powdered materials and must be designed for easy loading and unloading. The project involves determining the material properties, flow characteristics, functional design, applied pressures and forces from self-weight, filling load, live load, and wind load. The stress analysis is then performed on the silo hopper structure to compare the results for the two materials.

STRESS ANALYSIS OF SILO HOPPER

by G. SANGAREESWARI U. GANESAN

ABSTRACT
Silo Hoppers are used in industry for protection and storage of powdered materials. Hoppers must be designed such that they are easy to load. More importantly, hoppers must be designed such that they are easy to unload. This project deals with the stress analysis of silo hopper for two carbon steel materials. The aim of the present project is to analyze the silo hopper with certain load conditions and to compare the results for two different materials. The load conditions are Weight of the structure (Self-weight), Filling load on bin and live load on platform and including Wind load.

DESIGN PROCEDURE
Assessment of Material Properties Assessment of Flow Characteristics

Functional Design of Bin


Determination of Pressures and Forces Structural Design

ASSESSMENT OF MATERIAL PROPERTIES


The properties include the density of the material, its compressibility, and its angle of internal friction, angle of repose and angle of wall friction.

For the majority of stored materials such as ores,

coal, grain, etc

Assessment of Flow Characteristics


Based on the material properties mentioned above, it is necessary to determine the flow characteristics Mass flow, Funnel flow and Expanded flow.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF MASS AND FUNNEL FLOW
