Experimental validation of a micromechanically-based compaction law for soft/hard grain mixtures

Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, Jonathan Barés, Mathieu Renouf +1

In this letter, we report on an experimental study which analyzes the compressive behavior of 2D bidisperse granular assemblies made of soft (hyperelastic) and hard grains in varyi…

The physics of cement cohesion

Abhay Goyal, Ivan Palaia, Katerina Ioannidou +5

Cement is one of the most produced materials in the world. A major player in greenhouse gas emissions, it is the main binding agent in concrete, to which it provides a cohesive str…

Strength and energy consumption of inherently anisotropic rocks at failure

David Cantor, Carlos Ovalle, Emilien Azéma

Using a discrete-element approach and a bonding interaction law, we model and test crushable inherently anisotropic structures reminiscent of the layering found in sedimentary and…

Bulk modulus of soft particle assemblies under compression

David Cantor, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, Itthichai Preechawuttipong +2

Using a numerical approach based on the coupling of the discrete and finite element methods, we explore the variation of the bulk modulus K of soft particle assemblies undergoing i…

Highly strained mixtures of bidimensional soft and rigid grains: an experimental approach from the local scale

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

Granular systems are not always homogeneous and can be composed of grains with very different mechanical properties. To improve our understanding of the behavior of real granular s…
