Properties of packings and dispersions of superellipse sector particles
John Colt, Lucas Nelson, Sykes Cargile +2
Superellipse sector particles (SeSPs) are segments of superelliptical curves that form a tunable set of hard-particle shapes for granular and colloidal systems. SeSPs allow for con…

Enlightening force chains: a review of photoelasticimetry in granular matter
Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Theodore A. Brzinski +10
A photoelastic material will reveal its internal stresses when observed through polarizing filters. This eye-catching property has enlightened our understanding of granular materia…
