Identifying Bridges from Asymmetric Load-Bearing Structures in Tapped Granular Packings
Chijin Zhou, Shuyang Zhang, Xueliang Dai +5
Using high-resolution x-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate the bridge structures in tapped granular packings composed of particles with varying friction coefficients. We…
Testing Adam-Gibbs relationship in tapped Granular Packings
Xinyu Ai, Houfei Yuan, Shuyang Zhang +4
Disordered granular packings share many similarities with supercooled liquids, particu-larly in the rapid increase of structural relaxation time within a narrow range of temperatur…
Microscopic Structural Study on the Growth History of Granular Heaps Prepared by the Raining Method
Hanyu Li, Houfei Yuan, Zhikun Zeng +4
Granular heaps are critical in both industrial applications and natural processes, exhibiting complex behaviors that have sparked significant research interest. The stress dip phen…
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…
