Variables to consider
• Type and variety of grain, moisture content, condition
• Bin wall types: corrugated, smooth, concrete
• Bottom and discharge design
• Plug flow, funnel flow….
• Bin Height to diameter ratio
• Loading, unloading forces
• Packing factors
• Vibration from outside sources (train, truck, seismic)
• Location within the bin
• Dynamic vs static loads
• Rankine and Janssen equations for force estimations

Why do we care?
• Bin failures and design
improvements
• Power to handle and
work with grain
• Prediction of damage to
kernels during handling
• Entrapments and rescue
• Anchor point and other
design criteria load
ratings
• Equipment design

Where to start??? Applications…..
First project: Coffer Dam testing • Question: How hard is it to insert coffer dams in grain?

It takes more than ... no dynamic loading](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050902/5ae1b3427f8b9a1c248eb624/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Vertical dynamic force (resistance)
analysis
Summary of results
• Directly proportional to the service area in contact with the
grain (dynamic loads)
• 300 lbs to 700 lbs of steady force in dry corn to a depth of
3 ft.
• Force required increased linearly for 2 ft….then
exponentially for the 3rd ft.
• Straight wood board coffer dams were least
• Large steel coffer dams with “fixtures” were the greatest

Latest project: forces on a buried person
• Using pressure mapping, gather information
about forces experienced by entrapment victims.
• Gather understanding of the physiological
response of the human body based on the
pressure mapping data.
• Suggest new treatment guidelines and offer
training materials for physicians and first
responders.
"Somebody call 911," yelled Aaron Fink as he held
onto the edge of a grain trailer inside the Farmers
Alliance elevator in Mitchell. "We've got somebody
in the grain!"

Rescue protocol questions
• What are the pin point force interactions with the skin and
muscles?
• Is immediate release of pressure optimal for recovery?
• What physiological changes are happening due to this
unique kind of pressure on the body?
• What residual changes can we expect due to this kind of
pressure?
• How does that compare to other force trauma and the
treatments/protocols for rescues?

Equipment for testing
• Tekscan CONFORMat pressure mapping systems
• Test grain: Canola, wheat, soybeans, and corn.
• Test initially in smaller bin with no surface interaction and
no dynamic loading
• Collaborate with Dr. Paul Rock of OSU’s medical center in
Tulsa, OK.
.Next steps:
dynamic loading (pulling)
pressures from rescuers working around victims

What does the “map” mean?
• The graph is actually a time-lapsed video
• With calibration, we can tell the amount of pressure (force over area) on each body part over time
• This pressure can be correlated to force research done by g-force, sub-oceanic pressure and deep tissue impact injury specialists
Goals:
• Safer and more effective rescues and rescue equipment
• Better designs for storage
• Understanding of load changes and modeling of storage environment BEFORE the accident happens!
