Abstract
IN several communications1–4 on the tensile strength of granular materials bound by liquids, authors have tried to confirm or improve the equation of Rumpf5. At the Institute of Mechanical Process Engineering of the University of Karlsruhe, where the first measurements of the tensile strength of moist agglomerates started in 1957, investigations have recently led to a complete theoretical and experimental description of the tensile strength relationship in the whole moisture range.
