An unexplored valley of binary packing: The loose jamming state
Si Suo, Chongpu Zhai, Minglong Xu +2
We present a theoretical prediction on random close packing factor ϕ_RCP^b of binary granular packings based on the hard-sphere fluid theory. An unexplored regime is unravelled, wh…
Cyclic thermo-mechanical performance of granular beds: Effect of elastoplasticity
Si Suo, Marigrazia Moscardini, Verena Becker +2
Understanding the coupled thermo-mechanical behaviour of compacted granular beds can benefit various industrial applications, such as pebble bed design in fusion reactors. In this…
A Thermal Discrete Element Analysis of EU Solid Breeder Blanket subjected to Neutron Irradiation
Yixiang Gan, Francisco Hernandez, Dorian Hanaor +3
Due to neutron irradiation, solid breeder blankets are subjected to complex thermo-mechanical conditions. Within one breeder unit, the ceramic breeder bed is composed of spherical-…
