Extraterrestrial Minerals Testing
Static Angle Of Repose
natural tendency of the material to create stable piles, and is described by the angle created by the line, which can describe the created slope side, and the horizontal direction
Dynamic Angle Of Repose
angel which can be described as an angle between the line described the slope side and the horizontal direction, however in this case the slope stabilizes in the stable flow of the material
Angle Of External Friction – Equipmement Interaction
angle of external friction represents the interaction of a bulk/granular
material with handling equipment material
Currently in our laboratory we have the collection of following regolith simulants witch are under testing:
- LHS 1
- LHS 2
- LHS 1E
- LHS 2E
- LMS 1
- LMS 2
- LMS 1E
- LSP 2
The main goal of the experimental testing is to create an database of input parameters for DEM simulations of medium and large scale of several types of the regolith simulants.
