摘要To enhance the calibration efficiency and accuracy of Discrete Element Method(DEM)parameters for cohesive bulk materials,a collaborative method integrating Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)and Backpropagation(BP)neural networks is proposed.Key macroscopic indicators(steady-state shear stress,angle of repose)are obtained via Jenike shear and funnel tests across a 0-50%moisture range.Orthogonal experiments determine micro-parameters(e.g.,staticolling friction,surface energy)to build a macro-micro mapping database.The core of the PSO-BP dual-model lies in its collaborative mechanism:the forward BP model predicts macroscopic responses to replace time-consuming DEM simulations,while the PSO algorithm optimizes the inverse BP model to accurately infer optimal micro-parameters from experimental macro-indicators(steady-state shear stress,angle of repose).Validation shows low errors(1.14%for angle of repose,1.63%for steady-state shear stress)and good chute flow velocity agreement.This method overcomes traditional limitations of arbitrariness and ignored parameter coupling,providing reliable support for DEM simulation and equipment design for cohesive bulk materials.
