Bridges in three-dimensional granular packings: experiments and simulations
Yixin Cao, Bandan Chakrabortty, G. C. Barker +2
In this letter, we present the first experimental study of bridge structures in three-dimensional dry granular packings. When bridges are small, they are predominantly 'linear', an…
Finding bridges in packings of colloidal spheres
Matthew C. Jenkins, Mark D. Haw, Gary C. Barker +2
We identify putative load-bearing structures (bridges) in experimental colloidal systems studied by confocal microscopy. Bridges are co-operative structures that have been used to…
Long wavelength structural anomalies in jammed systems
Leonardo E. Silbert, Moises Silbert
The structural properties of static, jammed packings of monodisperse spheres in the vicinity of the jamming transition are investigated using large-scale computer simulations. At s…
Competition and cooperation:aspects of dynamics in sandpiles
Anita Mehta, J M Luck, J M Berg +1
In this article, we review some of our approaches to granular dynamics, now well known to consist of both fast and slow relaxational processes. In the first case, grains typically…
Structure and distribution of arches in shaken hard sphere deposits
Luis A. Pugnaloni, G. C. Barker
We investigate the structure and distribution of arches formed by spherical, hard particles shaken in an external field after they come to rest. Arches (or bridges) are formed duri…
Inhomogeneous relaxation in vibrated granular media: consolidation waves
G. C. Barker, Anita Mehta
We investigate the spatial dependence of the density of vibrated granular beds, using simulations based on a hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. We find that the initial consolidation is…
