Root growth and force chains in a granular soil

M. Fakih, J. -Y. Delenne, F. Radjai +1

Roots provide basic functions to plants such as water/nutrient uptake and anchoring in soil. The growth and development of root systems contribute to colonizing the surrounding soi…

On the quasi-static effective behaviour of poroelastic media containing elastic inclusions

Pascale Royer, Pierre Recho, Claude Verdier

The aim of the present study is to derive the effective quasi-static behaviour of a composite medium, made of a poroelastic matrix containing elastic impervious inclusions. For thi…

Particle dynamics simulation of wet granulation in a rotating drum

Thanh Trung Vo, Saeid Nezamabadi, Patrick Mutabaruka +4

We simulate the granulation process of solid spherical particles in the presence of a viscous liquid in a horizontal rotating drum by using molecular dynamics simulations in three…

Seismicity in sheared granular matter

Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Joshua Socolar +1

We report on experiments investigating the dynamics of a slider that is pulled by a spring across a granular medium consisting of a vertical layer of photo-elastic disks. The motio…

Impact of beads and drops on a repellent solid surface: a unified description

Sristhti Arora, Jean-Marc Fromental, Serge Mora +3

We investigate freely expanding sheets formed by ultrasoft gel beads, and liquid and viscoelastic drops, produced by the impact of the bead or drop on a silicon wafer covered with…

Crackling to periodic dynamics in sheared granular media

Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Robert Behringer

The local and global dynamics of a sheared granular medium are studied in a model experiment as a function of several macroscopic parameters. We observe that by changing the shear…
