Abstract :
[en] The angle of repose is a quantity that delivers direct information about the flowability of granular material. It is therefore desirable to have a reliable experimental method for its determination. Based on the well-established funnel method with continuous mass flow, an extension is introduced which allows increasing the precision and reproducibility of the angle of repose measurements. A modified experimental setup is presented which exploits asymmetries in the alignment of the mechanical setup to gain more precision in the determination of the angle of
repose. This experimental setup is combined with an evaluation method based on automated image analysis. The first results for a set of metal powders are presented.
