Micromechanical description of the compaction of soft pentagon assemblies

Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, David Cantor, Jonathan Barés +2

We analyze the isotropic compaction of assemblies composed of soft pentagons interacting through classical Coulomb friction via numerical simulations. The effect of the initial par…

Compaction of mixtures of rigid and highly deformable particles: a micro-mechanical model

Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, David Cantor, Jonathan Barés +2

We analyze the isotropic compaction of mixtures composed of rigid and deformable incompressible particles by the non-smooth contact dynamics approach (NSCD). The deformable bodies…

Effects of particle compressibility on structural and mechanical properties of compressed soft granular materials

Thi-Lo Vu, Saeid Nezamabadi, Serge Mora

Changes in the mechanical properties of granular materials, induced by variations in the intrinsic compressibility of the particles, are investigated by means of numerical simulati…

Cutting and slicing weak solids

Serge Mora, Yves Pomeau

Dicing soft solids with a sharp knife is quicker and smoother if the blade is sliding rapidly parallel to its edge in addition to the normal squeezing motion. We explain this commo…

Yielding, Rigidity, and Tensile Stress in Sheared Columns of Hexapod Granules

Yuchen Zhao, Jonathan Barés, Joshua E. S. Socolar

Granular packings of non-convex or elongated particles can form free-standing structures like walls or arches. For some particle shapes, such as staples, the rigidity arises from i…
