MODELING GRANULE CONSOLIDATION DURING ELECTRICAL HEATING

The paper presents a numerical discrete element model of granule consolidation taking into account only the elastic interaction force. Calculation of electric and temperature fi elds was added to the model. Granules are considered as a set of nodes with links in between. Using this model, numerical experiments were carried out, the results of which qualitatively show the process of granular material consolidation.
