Influence of Roughness on Granular Avalanches

Jie Zheng, Yi Xing, Ye Yuan +10

Combining X-ray tomography with simultaneous shear force measurement, we investigate shear-induced granular avalanches using spherical particles with different surface roughness. W…

Disorder-induced vibrational anomalies from crystalline to amorphous solids

Ling Zhang, Yinqiao Wang, Yangrui Chen +8

The origin of boson peak -- an excess of density of states over Debye's model in glassy solids -- is still under intense debate, among which some theories and experiments suggest t…

Experimental Test on Edwards Volume Ensemble of Tapped Granular Packings

Ye Yuan, Yi Xing, Jie Zheng +9

Using X-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate granular packings subject to mechanical tapping for three types of beads with different friction coefficients. We validate Edw…

X-ray tomography investigation of cyclically sheared granular materials

Yi Xing, Jie Zheng, Jindong Li +4

We perform combined X-ray tomography and shear force measurements on a cyclically sheared granular system with highly transient behaviors, and obtain the evolution of microscopic s…

Frictional Granular Matter: Protocol Dependence of Mechanical Properties

Anaël Lemaître, Chandana Mondal, Itamar Procaccia +3

Theoretical treatments of frictional granular matter often assume that it is legitimate to invoke classical elastic theory to describe its coarse-grained mechanical properties. Her…

Granular Segregation Mechanisms by Cyclic Shear

Zhifeng Li, Zhikun Zeng, Yi Xing +6

We present an X-ray tomography study of the segregation mechanisms of tracer particles in a three-dimensional cyclically sheared bi-disperse granular medium. Big tracers are dragge…
