Edwards thermodynamic framework controls density segregation in cyclically sheared granular materials
Haiyang Lu, Houfei Yuan, Shuyang Zhang +5
Using X-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate granular segregation phenomena in a mixture of particles with different densities under quasi-static cyclic shear. We quantita…
From creep to flow: Granular materials under cyclic shear
Ye Yuan, Zhikun Zeng, Yi Xing +4
Granular materials such as sand, powders, and grains are omnipresent in daily life, industrial applications, and earth-science [1]. When unperturbed, they form stable structures th…
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…
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…
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…
