Heaping, Secondary Flows and Broken Symmetry in Flows of Elongated Granular Particles
Geert Wortel, Tamás Börzsönyi, Ellák Somfai +4
In this paper we report experiments where we shear granular rods in split-bottom geometries, and find that a significant heap of height of least 40% of the filling height can form…

Evolution of shear zones in granular materials
Balazs Szabo, Janos Torok, Ellak Somfai +6
The evolution of wide shear zones (or shear bands) was investigated experimentally and numerically for quasistatic dry granular flows in split bottom shear cells. We compare the be…
