Digging through 2D densely-packed coarse granular media as a critical phenomenon
Guo-Jie Jason Gao, Fu-Ling Yang, Michael C. Holcomb +1
We create a mechanical digger able to move within 2D densely-packed granular media, in a manner intrinsically different from the existing biomimic diggers. The characteristics of o…
Enhanced flow rate by the concentration mechanism of Tetris particles when discharged from a hopper with an obstacle
Guo-Jie Jason Gao, Fu-Ling Yang, Michael C. Holcomb +1
We apply a holistic 2D Tetris-like model, where particles move based on prescribed rules, to investigate the flow rate enhancement from a hopper. This phenomenon was originally rep…
Understanding the Local Flow Rate Peak of a Hopper Discharging Discs through an Obstacle Using a Tetris-like Model
Guo-Jie J. Gao, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Michael C. Holcomb +1
Placing a round obstacle above the orifice of a flat hopper discharging uniform frictional discs has been experimentally and numerically shown in the literature to create a local p…
Embryo as an active granular fluid: stress-coordinated cellular constriction chains
Guo-Jie Jason Gao, Michael C. Holcomb, Jeffrey H. Thomas +1
Mechanical stress plays an intricate role in gene expression in individual cells and sculpting of developing tissues. However, systematic methods of studying how mechanical stress…
