Critical evaluations of different implementations of Edwards volume ensemble
Houfei Yuan, Yujie Wang
Granular systems can display reproducible microscopic distributions governed by a few macroscopic parameters, parallel to equilibrium statistical mechanics. Building on this analog…
Compaction of Granular Columns under Thermal Cycling
Yuxuan Luo, Haiyang Lu, Xinyu Ai +5
Granular materials undergo compaction under periodic temperature fluctuations, leading to various engineering and geological phenomena from landslides to silo compaction. Although…
Edwards thermodynamic framework controls density segregation in cyclically sheared granular materials
Haiyang Lu, Houfei Yuan, Shuyang Zhang +5
Using X-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate granular segregation phenomena in a mixture of particles with different densities under quasi-static cyclic shear. We quantita…
Experimental Study of Granular Clogging in Two-Dimensional Hopper
Shuyang Zhang, Zhikun Zeng, Houfei Yuan +5
We experimentally investigate the clogging process of granular materials in a two-dimensional hopper, and present a self-consistent physical mechanism of clogging based on preforme…
From creep to flow: Granular materials under cyclic shear
Ye Yuan, Zhikun Zeng, Yi Xing +4
Granular materials such as sand, powders, and grains are omnipresent in daily life, industrial applications, and earth-science [1]. When unperturbed, they form stable structures th…
