Abstract

During the motion of powders, it is found that such of the material moves as blocks with regions of high strain, termed failure zones, between. For free-flowing materials, it is shown how a general theory of particle motion can be developed in order to understand mixing and segregation in failure zones. The theory shows how complete segregation can arise. It can also be applied to systems of low concentrations of small particles, employing previously obtained data on inter-particle percolation rates, to give a model free of adjustable parameters; this shows satisfactory agreement with experiment.
