Softer than soft: diving into squishy granular matter

Jonathan Barés, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, David Cantor +2

Softer than soft, squishy granular matter is composed of grains capable of significantly changing their shape (typically larger than 10% of deformation) without tearing or breaking…

Three-dimensional compaction of soft granular packings

Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, David Cantor, Jonathan Barés +2

This paper analyzes the compaction behavior of assemblies composed of soft (elastic) spherical particles beyond the jammed state, using three-dimensional non-smooth contact dynamic…

Strength and energy consumption of inherently anisotropic rocks at failure

David Cantor, Carlos Ovalle, Emilien Azéma

Using a discrete-element approach and a bonding interaction law, we model and test crushable inherently anisotropic structures reminiscent of the layering found in sedimentary and…

Bulk modulus of soft particle assemblies under compression

David Cantor, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, Itthichai Preechawuttipong +2

Using a numerical approach based on the coupling of the discrete and finite element methods, we explore the variation of the bulk modulus K of soft particle assemblies undergoing i…

Highly strained mixtures of bidimensional soft and rigid grains: an experimental approach from the local scale

Jonathan Barés, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, David Cantor +2

Granular systems are not always homogeneous and can be composed of grains with very different mechanical properties. To improve our understanding of the behavior of real granular s…

Microstructural origins of crushing strength for inherently anisotropic brittle materials

David Cantor, Carlos Ovalle, Emilien Azéma

We study the crushing strength of brittle materials whose internal structure (e.g., mineral particles or graining) presents a layered arrangement reminiscent of sedimentary and met…
