Numerical analysis of mechanical stress behavior of rotary kiln of a cement plant

Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 3

Abstract

Furnaces are machines that are widely used in industry, especially of cements. They are often subjected to high mechanical and thermal stress. The present work consists in modeling the mechanical behavior of a rotary kiln in stationary regime. The case studied is that of the cement factory LAFARGE Oggaz, Mascara, Algeria. This study aims is to determine the optimal operating conditions under variable mechanical loads. The two load cases considered are traction and compression of the shells. The results obtained, states of stress, deformation and displacement allow the establishment of a prediction model of the highly stressed zones and consequently to improve the parameters of design of the kiln especially in phase of dimensioning. The numerical method used is that of the finite elements as it is implemented in the ANSYS Workbench calculation code.
