✦ Synopsis

Di!erent "nite element models for axisymmetric silo analysis, that simultaneously considers the behaviour of the grain and the structure, are proposed in this paper. The use of commercial programmes and integration of modern theories on pressures exerted by grain are the main premises of the research. The paper presents models for both the static and dynamic conditions. In both cases, the in#uence of di!erent parameters is discussed. A new method for emptying pressure determination is also proposed.

Dynamic finite element (FE) model updating may be considered as an optimisation process. Over the past few years, two powerful new optimisation algorithms have been developed independently of each other; namely, the genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). These algorithms are both proba
