I tried to elaborate at
http://yade.wikia.com/wiki/SharedMaterialProperties; there are 4
distinct tasks to do on that, all described at
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/yade/+spec/shared-intr-props (targeted

Do not hesitate to comment.

Bodies use it both as internal friciton angle (inside a solid) and as
surface friction angle (on collision-type contact with some other body),
but I don't see why you would like to differentiate that. There is no
notion of surface in yade (fortunately)...
