Compacting an assembly of soft balls far beyond the jammed state: insights from 3D imaging
Jonathan Barés, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, Gustavo Pinzón +4
Very soft grain assemblies have unique shape-changing capabilities that allow them to be compressed far beyond the rigid jammed state by filling void spaces more effectively. Howev…

Bulk modulus of soft particle assemblies under compression
David Cantor, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, Itthichai Preechawuttipong +2
Using a numerical approach based on the coupling of the discrete and finite element methods, we explore the variation of the bulk modulus K of soft particle assemblies undergoing i…

Highly strained mixtures of bidimensional soft and rigid grains: an experimental approach from the local scale
Jonathan Barés, Manuel Cárdenas-Barrantes, David Cantor +2
Granular systems are not always homogeneous and can be composed of grains with very different mechanical properties. To improve our understanding of the behavior of real granular s…
