  2. Shear strength (soil) - Wikipedia

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

    φ' = the effective stress friction angle, or the 'angle of internal friction' after Coulomb friction. The coefficient of friction is equal to tan(φ'). 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.

  3. Mohr–Coulomb theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr–Coulomb_theory

    The quantity is often called the cohesion and the angle is called the angle of internal friction. Compression is assumed to be positive in the following discussion. If compression is assumed to be negative then should be replaced with .

  4. Rankine theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_theory

    φ = angle of internal friction of soil. The expression for passive pressure is: = where: = ⁡ + (⁡ ⁡) / ⁡ (⁡ ⁡) / ⁡ Or in the case of β=0, then the two ...

  5. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    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. Internal friction is the force resisting motion between the elements making up a solid material while it undergoes ...

  6. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    The internal angle between the surface of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle of repose forms flatter piles than material with a high angle of repose.

  7. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    The angle of internal friction is thus closely related to the maximum stable slope angle, often called the angle of repose. But in addition to friction, soil derives significant shear resistance from interlocking of grains. If the grains are densely packed, the grains tend to spread apart from each other as they are subject to shear strain.

  8. 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.

    φ′ is the effective internal angle of friction. K pγ is obtained graphically. Simplifications have been made to eliminate the need for K pγ. One such was done by Coduto, given below, and it is accurate to within 10%. [2] = (+) ⁡ ′ + ⁡ ′
