Transparent Experiments: Releasing Data from Mechanical Tests on Three Dimensional Hydrogel Sphere Packings
Jonathan Barés, Nicolas Brodu, Hu Zheng +1
We describe here experiments on the mechanics of hydrogel particle packings from the Behringer lab, performed between 2012 and 2015. These experiments quantify the evolution of all…
Refractive Index Matched Scanning and Detection of Soft Particle
Joshua A. Dijksman, Nicolas Brodu, R. P. Behringer
We describe here how to apply the three dimensional imaging technique of refrecative index matched scanning to hydrogel spheres. Hydrogels are water based materials with a low refr…
MC-DEM: a novel simulation scheme for modeling dense granular media
Nicolas Brodu, Joshua A. Dijksman, Robert P. Behringer
This article presents a new force model for performing quantitative simulations of dense granular materials. Interactions between multiple contacts (MC) on the same grain are expli…
Spanning the Scales of Granular Materials: Microscopic Force Imaging
Nicolas Brodu, Joshua A. Dijksman, Robert P. Behringer
If you walk on sand, it supports your weight. How do the disordered forces between particles in sand organize, to keep you from sinking? This simple question is surprisingly diffic…
New patterns in high-speed granular flows
Nicolas Brodu, Renaud Delannay, Alexandre Valance +1
We report on new patterns in high-speed flows of granular materials obtained by means of extensive numerical simulations. These patterns emerge from the destabilization of unidirec…
Shallow granular flows down flat frictional channels: steady flows and longitudinal vortices
Nicolas Brodu, Patrick Richard, Renaud Delannay
Granular flows down inclined channels with smooth boundaries are common in nature and in the industry. Nevertheless, the common setup of flat boundaries has comparatively been much…
