In-situ study of mineral liberation at the onset of fragmentation of a copper ore using X-ray micro-computed tomography

N. Francois, Y. Zhang, R. Henley +8

A better understanding of the relation between ore fragmentation and ore texture is a key to the energy efficient extraction of targeted minerals from low grade ore deposits. In th…

Non-universal Voronoi cell shapes in amorphous ellipsoid packings

Fabian M. Schaller, Sebastian C. Kapfer, James E. Hilton +8

In particulate systems with short-range interactions, such as granular matter or simple fluids, local structure plays a pivotal role in determining the macroscopic physical propert…

Local origin of global contact numbers in frictional ellipsoid packings

Fabian M. Schaller, Max Neudecker, Mohammad Saadatfar +3

In particulate soft matter systems the average number of contacts of a particle is an important predictor of the mechanical properties of the system. Using X-ray tomography, we…

Onset of mechanical stability in random packings of frictional spheres

Melissa Jerkins, Matthias Schröter, Harry L. Swinney +3

Using sedimentation to obtain precisely controlled packings of noncohesive spheres, we find that the volume fraction of the loosest mechanically stable packing is in…
