| Summary: | Aiming at the lack of a precise discrete element model in the simulation analysis of corn straw crushing, this paper established bond models with different structure and particle models with different properties of corn straw based on Hertz-Mindlin with bonding, and verified the discrete element model by combining physical test and simulation optimization design methods. Firstly, this study generates the bonded particle models based on Hertz-Mindlin with bonding for epidermis-epidermis, inner flesh-internal flesh, and epidermis-internal flesh, respectively. The bonding parameters of the model are calibrated with the help of a bending damage test, bending damage simulation test, and actual test with 2 mm/min speed. It shows that the maximum destructive force errors of the epidermis and inner flesh are 2.4% and 1.6%, respectively. On this basis, a discrete element model of corn straw is established by combining the calibrated parameters of the bonding parameters of epidermis—epidermis, inner flesh—inner flesh, and epidermis—inner flesh bond. The bending failure test shows that the mechanical properties of corn straw are similar between the simulated test and the actual test, and the maximum destructive power is 288 N and 292 N, respectively. The relative error is 1.36%. The feasibility of the discrete element model for simulation analysis is verified, which shows that the established discrete element model can be applied to the simulation analysis of corn straw cutting and crushing process.
