Studies on Fundamental Dynamic Properties of Rough Materials in Livestock Farming in Relation to Bulk Handling. (III)

Grouping of Materials from the Viewpoint of Some Physical Properties

Abstract

Some static and dynamic properties of various concentrates, roughage, litter and muck shown in Fig. 4, 5 and 6 was investigated.
Based on such results as summarized in Tables 2 and 4, we proposed classification of rough materials in relation to handling (Table 5). Through our investigations, it seemed somewhat difficult and problematical to apply the measuring technique of soil mechanics to rough materials. So that, our proposal is only tentative, but will be useful to develop handling system suitable for characteristics of materials.
