A device for studying elementary plasticity fluctuations in granular media
Ambroise Mathey, Mickaël Le Fur, Patrick Chasle +2
In this manuscript, we describe a scientific device specifically designed for the study of the plasticity fluctuations preceding the fracture of granular media. Biaxial tests on mo…
Micro-slips inside a granular shear band as nano-earthquakes
David Houdoux, Axelle Amon, David Marsan +2
We study experimentally the fluctuations of deformation along a shear fault naturally emerging within a compressed frictional granular medium. Using laser interferometry, we show t…
Plastic flow and localization in an amorphous material: experimental interpretation of the fluidity
David Houdoux, Thai Binh Nguyen, Axelle Amon +2
We present a thorough study of the plastic response of a granular material progressively loaded. We study experimentally the evolution of the plastic field from a homogeneous one t…
Focus on Imaging Methods in Granular Physics
Axelle Amon, Philip Born, Karen E. Daniels +6
Granular materials are complex multi-particle ensembles in which macroscopic properties are largely determined by inter-particle interactions between their numerous constituents. I…
Avalanche precursors in a frictional model
Axelle Amon, Baptiste Blanc, Jean-Christophe Géminard
We present a one-dimensional numerical model based on elastically coupled sliders on a frictional incline of variable tilt. This very simple approach makes possible to study the pr…
Spatially-resolved measurements of micro-deformations in granular materials using DWS
Axelle Amon, Alesya Mikhailovskaya, Jérôme Crassous
This article is a tutorial on the practical implementation of a method of measurement of minute deformations based on multiple scattering. This technic has been recently developed…
