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…
Granular materials flow like complex fluids
Binquan Kou, Yixin Cao, Jindong Li +7
Granular materials such as sand, powders, foams etc. are ubiquitous in our daily life, as well as in industrial and geotechnical applications. Although these disordered systems for…
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…
