Notes. Wet and Dry correspond to grains without sintering. Wet grains are not dried at all. The label STTTCXXh indicates sintered grains at TTT °C for XX hours. μ, ρg, and φ are the friction coefficient measured by the angle of repose, the bulk density, and the packing fraction of the target granular layer, respectively. Yg denotes the strength of the agglomerated grains. Errors of μ indicate the measurement uncertainty and other errors indicate the standard deviation of multiple measurements.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
