Force and geometric signatures of the creep-to-failure transition in a granular pile
Qing Hao, Luca Montoya, Elena Lee +2
Granular creep is the slow, sub-yield movement of constituents in a granular packing due to the disordered nature of its grain-scale interactions. Despite the ubiquity of creep in…
Using Physics Simulations to Find Targeting Strategies in Competitive Bowling
Simon Ji, Shouzhuo Yang, Wilber Dominguez +1
This article demonstrates a new approach to finding ideal bowling targeting strategies through computer simulation. To model bowling ball behaviour, a system of five coupled differ…
Jammed solids with pins: Thresholds, Force networks and Elasticity
Andy L. Zhang, Sean A. Ridout, Celia Parts +6
The role of fixed degrees of freedom in soft/granular matter systems has broad applicability and theoretical interest. Here we address questions of the geometrical role that a scaf…
Dynamics of oblique impact in a photoelastic granular medium
Cacey Stevens Bester, Noah Cox, Hu Zheng +1
When a solid projectile impacts a granular target, it experiences a drag force and abruptly comes to rest as its momentum transfers to the grains. An empirical drag force law succe…
Jamming transition in non-spherical particle systems: pentagons vs. disks
Yiqiu Zhao, Jonathan Barés, Hu Zheng +4
We investigate the jamming transition in a quasi-2D granular material composed of regular pentagons or disks subjected to quasistatic uniaxial compression. We report six major find…
Collisional Model of Energy Dissipation in 3D Granular Impact
Cacey Stevens Bester, Robert P. Behringer
We study the dynamic process occurring when a granular assembly is displaced by a solid impactor. The momentum transfer from the impactor to the target is shown to occur through sp…
