On The Movement of Granular Materials in Bins Part II: Three-Dimensional Problems

A simple numerical procedure for determining three-dimensional displacements of granular media in bins is proposed. In the previous paper [6] such a numerical procedure was limited to the two-dimensional analysis only. The proposed procedure is based on the concept published by Professor Jerzy Litwiniszyn, who treated the gravity flow of granular media as a stochastic process.
