Colloidal Suspensions can have Non-Zero Angles of Repose below the Minimal Value for Athermal Frictionless Particles
Jesús Fernández, Loïc Vanel, Antoine Bérut
We investigate the angle of repose of dense suspensions of colloidal silica particles ( to ) in water-filled microfluidic rotating drum experiments, to pr…

Aging in the Flow Dynamics of Dense Suspensions of Contactless Microparticles
Jesús Fernández, Loïc Vanel, Antoine Bérut
This study demonstrates that the free-surface flow dynamics of dense piles of contactless silica microparticles depend on the resting period prior to flow. Microfluidic rotating dr…

Load-Dependent Power-Law Exponent in Creep Rupture of Heterogeneous Materials
Chloé Braux, Antoine Bérut, Loïc Vanel
Creep tests on heterogeneous materials under subcritical loading typically show a power-law decaying strain rate before failure, with the exponent often considered material-depende…
