In this study, the damping torque exerted on a horizontally rotating blade in granular materials under gravity was investigated. To capture the stirring behaviour of the granular materials in detail, a mechanical stirring apparatus was fabricated. The rotating blade was driven sinusoidally by a shaker through a ball screw mechanism. It was found that energy dissipation depends on various parameters such as particle material and particle size. Energy dissipation was also calculated using the EDEM® software based on the discrete element method. To verify the validity of the numerical simulation model, numerical simulation results were compared with experimental results.
