Scaling laws of shrinkage induced fragmentation phenomena
Roland Szatmári, Akio Nakahara, So Kitsunezaki +1
We investigate the shrinkage induced breakup of thin layers of heterogeneous materials attached to a substrate, a ubiquitous natural phenomenon with a wide range of potential appli…
X-ray computerized tomography observation of Lycopodium paste incorporating memory of shaking
So Kitsunezaki, Akihiro Nishimoto, Tsuyoshi Mizuguchi +2
In a uniform layer consisting of a mixture of granular material and liquid, it is known that desiccation cracks exhibit various anisotropic patterns that depend on the nature of th…
Cracking Condition of Cohesionless Porous Materials in Drying Processes
So Kitsunezaki
The invasion of air into porous systems in drying processes is often localized in soft materials, such as colloidal suspensions and granular pastes, and it typically develops in th…
Numerical study of drying process and columnar fracture process in granules-water mixtures
Akihiro Nishimoto, Tsuyoshi Mizuguchi, So Kitsunezaki
The formation of three-dimensional prismatic cracks in the drying process of starch-water mixtures is investigated numerically. We assume that the mixture is an elastic porous medi…
Stripe patterns in a granular system induced by slow deformation of its container
So Kitsunezaki, Akemi Kurumatani
We investigate the formation of stripe patterns that appear on the surface of a dry granular system as the container is deformed very slowly. In an experimental study using nearly…
Fracture Patterns Induced by Desiccation in a Thin Layer
S. Kitsunezaki
We study a theoretical model of mud cracks, that is, the fracture patterns resulting from the contraction with drying in a thin layer of a mixture of granules and water. In this mo…
