X-ray tomography investigation of cyclically sheared granular materials

Yi Xing, Jie Zheng, Jindong Li +4

We perform combined X-ray tomography and shear force measurements on a cyclically sheared granular system with highly transient behaviors, and obtain the evolution of microscopic s…

Granular Segregation Mechanisms by Cyclic Shear

Zhifeng Li, Zhikun Zeng, Yi Xing +6

We present an X-ray tomography study of the segregation mechanisms of tracer particles in a three-dimensional cyclically sheared bi-disperse granular medium. Big tracers are dragge…

Structural and Topological Nature of Plasticity in Sheared Granular Materials

Yixin Cao, Jindong Li, Binquan Kou +9

Upon mechanical loading, granular materials yield and undergo plastic deformation. The nature of plastic deformation is essential for the development of the macroscopic constitutiv…

Origin of Non-cubic Scaling Law in Disordered Granular Packing

Chengjie Xia, Jindong Li, Bingquan Kou +9

Recent diffraction experiments on metallic glasses have unveiled an unexpected non-cubic scaling law between density and average interatomic distance, which lead to the speculation…

The structural origin of the hard-sphere glass transition in granular packing

Chengjie Xia, Jindong Li, Yixin Cao +5

Glass transition is accompanied by a rapid growth of the structural relaxation time and a concomitant decrease of configurational entropy. It remains unclear whether the transition…
