Anomalous Enhancement of Yield Strength due to Static Friction
Ryudo Suzuki, Takashi Matsushima, Tetsuo Yamaguchi +2
Friction is fundamental to mechanical stability across scales, from geological faults and architectural structures to granular materials and animal feet. We study the mechanical st…
Coordinated Stress-Structure Self-Organization in Granular Packing
Xiaoyu Jiang, Raphael Blumenfeld, Takashi Matsushima
During quasi-static dynamics of granular systems, the stress and structure self-organise, but there is currently no quantitative measure or understanding of this phenomenon. Such a…
Structural Evolution of Granular Systems: Theory
Clara C. Wanjura, Paula Gago, Takashi Matsushima +1
A general theory is developed for the evolution of the cell order (CO) distribution in planar granular systems. Dynamic equations are constructed and solved in closed form for seve…
Bilinear log n - log p relation and critical power-law grain size distribution of crushable aggregates under compression and shear
Kan Sato, Hiroko Kitajima, Miki Takahashi +1
In order to investigate the relation between the bulk plastic compression behavior and the evolution of grain size distribution (GSD) due to grain crushing under high-pressure comp…
Structural evolution of granular systems: Theory
Raphael Blumenfeld
A first-principles theory is developed for the general evolution of a key structural characteristic of planar granular systems - the cell order distribution. The dynamic equations…
On universal structural characteristics of granular packs
Takashi Matsushima, Raphael Blumenfeld
Dependence of structural self-organization of granular materials on preparation and grain parameters is key to predictive modelling. We study 60 different mechanically equilibrated…
