Origin of geometric cohesion in non-convex granular materials: interplay between interdigitation and rotational constraints enhancing frictional stability
Jonathan Barés, Arnaud Regazzi, David Aponte +4
We present a series of experiments investigating the local microstructure of cylindrical piles composed of highly concave particles. By systematically varying particle geometry --…

Loading-dependent microscale measures control bulk properties in granular material: an experimental test of the Stress-Force-Fabric relation
Carmen L. Lee, Ephraim Bililign, Emilien Azéma +1
The bulk behaviour of granular materials is tied to its mesoscale and particle-scale features: strength properties arise from the buildup of various anisotropic structures at the p…
