hi,
this is quite an interesting problem am involved in. we are designing a barge to contain some ores, properties similar to loose sand with angle of repose = 30 deg.
now, this barge will be having motions as it is in the marine environment. what we need to know is how the heap of the ore contained in the barge will behave. we are expected to design such that maximum ore is carried on the barge (thus leaving a slope of 30 deg at the top). this is important because if this whole sand is going to move, it will have great effect on the stability of the barge.
another problem is that the barge is uncovered and hence have to also understand the effect of rainfall on the ore motion..
thank you for the interest in this problem and will be glad if could get some help or references, etc
