Determining the Mohr-Coulomb model Parameters to examine the Flowability of ground corn stover and Douglas fir

Yang Li

In this study, the flowability of two biomass feedstocks, corn stover and Douglas Fir, will be examined with the Mohr-Coulomb model.  Two types of triaxial tests, i.e. hydrostatic triaxial compression and conventional triaxial compression, will be conducted with a Cubical Triaxial Tester. Triaxial test results will be used in determining the Mohr-Coulomb model parameters. The determined flowability will be compared with existing studies.
