Here, [L is the coefficient of internal friction, ( ) is the internal angle of friction, andc is the shear strength of the powder in the absence of any applied normal load. The yield locus of a powder may be determined from a shear cell, which typically consists of a cell composed of an upper and lower ring. The normal load is applied to the powder vertically while shear stresses are measured while the lower half of the cell is either translated or rotated [Carson Marinelli, loc. cit.]. Over-... 

The angles (j) and ( )-. the effective angle and wall angle of friction, respectively. 

Note that for completeness, the nondimensional particle size distribution, sphericity and the internal angle of friction (for slugging and spouting beds) should also be matched between the two beds.

The angle of friction is important in its effect on the design of bins and hoppers. If the pressure at the base of a column of solids is measured as a function of depth, it is found to increase approximately linearly with height up to a certain critical point beyond which it remains constant. A typical curve is shown in Figure 1.14. The point of discontinuity on the curve is given by ...

A pressure dependence of the internal angle of friction is known to represent the quantification of the pore space dependence of internal friction [3], Such a dependence has also been observed in wall friction experiments for the bed friction angle [5, 13] of soil. So, we must assume 6 = 6(p) and pressure dependence of friction angle with pressure [3,5,13], the simplest parameterisation is linear and we choose... 

The solid flow through the discharge orifice is characterized by the flow through a conical converging channel due to the accumulation of solids on the orifice plate. The half angle of the channel is the angle of friction for the particles, as shown in Fig. 8.15.

The angle of friction, 0, between the roll face and the granular solid. This property is also measured in a shear cell in which the base of the cell is replaced by a sample of the roll surface (Fig. 5.6b). Normal force is applied to the upper part of the cell containing powder and the shear force required to maintain movement between the material and the simulated roll surface is determined. Then, tan 0 = (shear force/normal force). 

In general, this Ck)ulomb yield criterion can be used to determine what stress will be required to cause a ceramic powder to flow or deform. All that is needed are the two characteristics of the ceramic powder the angle of friction, 8, and the cohesion stress, c, for each particular void fraction. With these data, the effective yield locus can be determined, from which the force required to deform the powder to a particular void fraction (or density) can be determined. This Coulomb yield criterion, however, gives no information on how fast the deformation will take place. To determine the velocity that occurs durii flow or deformation of a dry ceramic powder, we need to solve the equation of motion. The equation of motion requires a constitutive equation for the powder. The constitutive equation gives the shear and normal states of stress in terms of the time derivative of the displacement of the material. This information is unavailable for ceramic powders, and the measurements are particularly difficult [76, p. 93]. 

Determine the pressure distribution in a cylindrical uniaxially pressed powder with a length to diameter ratio of 1.5. The powder being pressed is cohesionless with an angle of repose of 30°. The wall of the hardened steel die is well lubricated with stearic acid, which gives an angle of friction with the wall of 1°. The mold was filled and tapped to a density of 54% of theoretical stress then pressed at 100 MPa. Assume that a parabolic stress profile on the die plunger is applied.

Bulk solids can transfer shear stresses while at rest and have a static angle of friction greater than zero, but liquids do not.
