  2. Mohr–Coulomb theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr–Coulomb_theory

    Mohr–Coulomb theory is a mathematical model ... is often called the cohesion and the angle is called the angle of internal friction. Compression is assumed to be ...

  3. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

  4. Shear strength (soil) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength_(soil)

    Different values of friction angle can be defined, including the peak friction angle, φ' p, the critical state friction angle, φ' cv, or residual friction angle, φ' r. c' = is called cohesion , however, it usually arises as a consequence of forcing a straight line to fit through measured values of (τ,σ') even though the data actually falls ...

  5. Drucker–Prager yield criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drucker–Prager_yield...

    Expressions in terms of cohesion and friction angle [ edit ] Since the Drucker–Prager yield surface is a smooth version of the Mohr–Coulomb yield surface , it is often expressed in terms of the cohesion ( c {\displaystyle c} ) and the angle of internal friction ( ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } ) that are used to describe the Mohr–Coulomb yield ...

  6. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    The critical state friction angle is not nearly as variable as the peak friction angle and hence it can be relied upon with confidence. [3] [4] [11] Not recognizing the significance of dilatancy, Coulomb proposed that the shear strength of soil may be expressed as a combination of adhesion and friction components: [11]

  7. Rankine theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_theory

    Rankine's theory (maximum-normal stress theory), developed in 1857 by William John Macquorn Rankine, [1] is a stress field solution that predicts active and passive earth pressure. It assumes that the soil is cohesionless, the wall is frictionless, the soil-wall interface is vertical, the failure surface on which the soil moves is planar , and ...

  8. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    The double angle approach relies on the fact that the angle between the normal vectors to any two physical planes passing through (Figure 4) is half the angle between two lines joining their corresponding stress points (,) on the Mohr circle and the centre of the circle.

  9. Dilatancy (granular material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilatancy_(granular_material)

    The relationship between dilation and internal friction is typically illustrated by the sawtooth model of dilatancy where the angle of dilation is analogous to the angle made by the teeth to the horizontal. Such a model can be used to infer that the observed friction angle is equal to the dilation angle plus the friction angle for zero dilation.
