title: Angular particle sliding down a transversally vibrated smooth plane.
abstract: We present a theoretical, numerical, and experimental study about the sliding motion of an angular particle down a vibrated smooth plane. The model is based on a Coulomb's friction law with a unique friction coefficient. The model is solved numerically and is tested with controlled experiments. Different motion regimes are identified and the particle behavior is governed by two dimensionless parameters. The comparison between experimental and numerical results gives an indirect access to the dynamic friction coefficient.
