Experimental Measures of Affine and Non-affine Deformation in Granular Shear
Brian Utter, R. P. Behringer
Through 2D granular Couette flow experiments, we probe failure and deformation of disordered solids under shear. Shear produces smooth affine deformations in such a solid and also…
Doublon Growth in Solidification
Brian Utter, E. Bodenschatz
We present experiments on the doublon growth morphology in directional solidification. Samples used are succinonitrile with small amounts of poly(ethylene oxide), acetone, or camph…
Transients in sheared granular matter
Brian Utter, R. P. Behringer
As dense granular materials are sheared, a shear band and an anisotropic force network form. The approach to steady state behavior depends on the history of the packing and the exi…
Self-diffusion in dense granular shear flows
Brian Utter, R. P. Behringer
Diffusivity is a key quantity in describing velocity fluctuations in granular materials. These fluctuations are the basis of many thermodynamic and hydrodynamic models which aim to…
