Identifying Bridges from Asymmetric Load-Bearing Structures in Tapped Granular Packings
Chijin Zhou, Shuyang Zhang, Xueliang Dai +5
Using high-resolution x-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate the bridge structures in tapped granular packings composed of particles with varying friction coefficients. We…
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…
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…
Translational and rotational dynamical heterogeneities in granular systems
Binquan Kou, Yixin Cao, Jindong Li +7
We use X-ray tomography to investigate the translational and rotational dynamical heterogeneities of a three dimensional hard ellipsoids granular packing driven by oscillatory shea…
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…
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…
