Granular structure and heterogeneous deformation preceding avalanches
Ibrahim Awada, Michel Bornert, Vincent Langlois +1
Granular packings undergo intermittent rearrangements, known as precursors, before avalanche onset. Using grain-scale tracking in an inclined granular layer, we show experimentally…

Fluctuations of local plastic strain in granular media
I. Awada, M. Bornert, V. Langlois +1
We experimentally study the heterogeneity of strain in a granular medium subjected to oscillatory shear in a rotating drum. Two complementary methods are used. The first method rel…
