Research on particle swarm screening mechanism and performance optimization based on simulated lunar microgravity

The research on particle size classification in lunar microgravity has gradually attracted the attention of scholars. Based on the discrete element method (DEM), this work proposes a double -layer auxiliary screening vibrating screen in the form of intermediate feeding, and takes the screening efficiency and screening time as the evaluation indicators. Firstly, the Helmholtz -Maxwell coil is used to simulate the force of particles under lunar microgravity, which verifies the reliability of the numerical simulation of particles under lunar microgravity based on the discrete element method. Then, the influence of the parameters of each screen on the comprehensive performance of screening was analyzed by a single -factor experiment. Finally, based on the BP (Back Propagation) neural network optimized by genetic algorithm, the evaluation model of screen parameters and screen performance is established, and the multi -objective genetic algorithm is used to optimize the screen parameters combination scheme with excellent performance. An efficient comprehensive model of screening is provided to improve the screening performance and the design of the screen machine under lunar microgravity. (c) 2023 COSPAR.
