Packing, alignment and flow of shape-anisotropic grains in a 3D silo experiment
Tamás Börzsönyi, Ellák Somfai, Balázs Szabó +4
Granular material flowing through bottlenecks like the openings of silos tend to clog and to inhibit further flow. We study this phenomenon in a three-dimensional hopper for spheri…
Evolution of shear zones in granular materials
Balazs Szabo, Janos Torok, Ellak Somfai +6
The evolution of wide shear zones (or shear bands) was investigated experimentally and numerically for quasistatic dry granular flows in split bottom shear cells. We compare the be…
Effects of grain shape on packing and dilatancy of sheared granular materials
Sandra Wegner, Ralf Stannarius, Axel Boese +4
Granular material exposed to shear shows a variety of unique phenomena: Reynolds dilatancy, positional order and orientational order effects may compete in the shear zone. We study…
