Experimental Study of Granular Clogging in Two-Dimensional Hopper
Shuyang Zhang, Zhikun Zeng, Houfei Yuan +5
We experimentally investigate the clogging process of granular materials in a two-dimensional hopper, and present a self-consistent physical mechanism of clogging based on preforme…
Influence of Roughness on Granular Avalanches
Jie Zheng, Yi Xing, Ye Yuan +10
Combining X-ray tomography with simultaneous shear force measurement, we investigate shear-induced granular avalanches using spherical particles with different surface roughness. W…
Experimental Test on Edwards Volume Ensemble of Tapped Granular Packings
Ye Yuan, Yi Xing, Jie Zheng +9
Using X-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate granular packings subject to mechanical tapping for three types of beads with different friction coefficients. We validate Edw…
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…
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…
