The Behavior of Granular Materials under Cyclic Shear
Nathan W. Mueggenburg
The design and development of a parallel plate shear cell for the study of large scale shear flows in granular materials is presented. The parallel plate geometry allows for shear…
Stress transmission through three-dimensional granular crystals with stacking faults
Melissa J. Spannuth, Nathan W. Mueggenburg, Heinrich M. Jaeger +1
We explore the effect of stacking fault defects on the transmission of forces in three-dimensional face-centered-cubic granular crystals. An external force is applied to a small ar…
Stress Transmission through Three-Dimensional Ordered Granular Arrays
Nathan W. Mueggenburg, Heinrich M. Jaeger, Sidney R. Nagel
We measure the local contact forces at both the top and bottom boundaries of three-dimensional face-centered-cubic and hexagonal-close-packed granular crystals in response to an ex…
Force distributions in 3D granular assemblies: Effects of packing order and inter-particle friction
Daniel L. Blair, Nathan W. Mueggenburg, Adam H. Marshall +2
We present a systematic investigation of the distribution of normal forces at the boundaries of static packings of spheres. A new method for the efficient construction of large hex…
