Statistical equivalence of reduced gravity and enhanced friction in granular packings
Haiyang Lu, Zhikun Zeng, Houfei Yuan +5
Using X-ray tomography, we compare granular packings prepared under buoyancy-reduced effective gravity with normal gravity packings of particles with systematically varied friction…
A Unified Glassy Rheology for Granular Matter
Zhikun Zeng, Jiazhao Xu, Hanyu Li +14
Granular flows are ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications, yet a complete continuum theory remains a long-standing challenge. The leading empirical approach, μ(I) rheolog…
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…
