Statistical Properties of a 2D Granular Material Subjected to Cyclic Shear

J. Zhang, T. S. Majmudar, A. Tordesillas +1

This work focuses on the evolution of structure and stress for an experimental system of 2D photoelastic particles that is subjected to multiple cycles of pure shear. Throughout th…

Hyperstaticity and loops in frictional granular packings

Antoinette Tordesillas, Edward Lam, Philip T. Metzger

The hyperstatic nature of granular packings of perfectly rigid disks is analyzed algebraically and through numerical simulation. The elementary loops of grains emerge as a fundamen…
