Skinny emulsions take on granular matter
Anaïs Giustiniani, Simon Weis, Christophe Poulard +4
Our understanding of the structural features of foams and emulsions has advanced significantly over the last 20 years. However, with a search for "super-stable" liquid dispersions,…
Structural similarity between dry and wet sphere packings
Simon Weis, Gerd Schröder-Turk, Matthias Schröter
The mechanical properties of granular materials change significantly in the presence of a wetting liquid which creates capillary bridges between the particles. Here we demonstrate,…
Charging changes contact composition in binary sphere packings
Andre Schella, Simon Weis, Matthias Schroeter
Equal volume mixtures of small and large polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) spheres are shaken in an atmosphere of controlled humidity which allows to also control their tribo-charging.…
Pomelo, a tool for computing Generic Set Voronoi Diagrams of Aspherical Particles of Arbitrary Shape
Simon Weis, Philipp W. A. Schönhöfer, Fabian M. Schaller +2
We describe the development of a new software tool, called "Pomelo", for the calculation of Set Voronoi diagrams. Voronoi diagrams are a spatial partition of the space around the p…
Analyzing X-Ray tomographies of granular packings
Simon Weis, Matthias Schröter
Starting from three-dimensional volume data of a granular packing, as e.g. obtained by X-ray Computed Tomography, we discuss methods to first detect the individual particles in the…
Local analysis of the history dependence in tetrahedra packings
N. Nirmal Thyagu, Max Neudecker, Simon Weis +2
The mechanical properties of a granular sample depend frequently on the way the packing was prepared. However, is not well understood which properties of the packing store this inf…
