Hello everyone!
I am planning on writing a paper about the angle of repose of different granular materials (i.e.the cone that sand makes in an hourglass). My research will involve both experimental and theoretical work; I am going to collect data regarding the shape that different materials make, as well as deriving the shape of the material mathematically.
I think the paper will be around a freshman/sophomore undergrad level. I have begun to search for literature on this topic, and have found some, but none of the other papers have included an actual derivation of the shape like I will.
Here's my question: Do you think that this has any reasonable chance of being published in any journal? Perhaps the American Journal of Physics - I know that their articles are slanted more towards education.
I am just trying to get a feel for whether this is a realistic endeavor. Please let me know if there is any more info that I should give you guys. Thanks a lot for your help!
