Using MAPF to measure Angle of Repose (AOR)
AOR is a quick way to characterize powders.
- It has some relation to flowability
For cohesive materials, getting reproducible results becomes challenging
A novel system* based on MAPF has been designed and constructed to study AOR of cohesive materials
Measured AOR depends on many parameters, some of which are not dependent on the material, e.g., AOR depends on the momentum of the powder forming a heap.
