Gravity Governs Shear Localization in Confined Dense Granular Flows
M Reza Shaebani, János Török, Maniya Maleki +4
Prediction of flow profiles of slowly sheared granular materials is a major geophysical and industrial challenge. Understanding the role of gravity is particularly important for fu…
Plato's cube and the natural geometry of fragmentation
Gábor Domokos, Douglas J. Jerolmack, Ferenc Kun +1
Plato envisioned Earth's building blocks as cubes, a shape rarely found in nature. The solar system is littered, however, with distorted polyhedra -- shards of rock and ice produce…
Evolution of shear zones in granular materials
Balazs Szabo, Janos Torok, Ellak Somfai +6
The evolution of wide shear zones (or shear bands) was investigated experimentally and numerically for quasistatic dry granular flows in split bottom shear cells. We compare the be…
Coexistence and Transition between Shear Zones in Slow Granular Flows
Robabeh Moosavi, M. Reza Shaebani, Maniya Maleki +3
We report experiments on slow granular flows in a split-bottom Couette cell that show novel strain localization features. Nontrivial flow profiles have been observed which are show…
Orientational order and alignment of elongated particles induced by shear
Tamas Borzsonyi, Balazs Szabo, Gabor Toros +5
Shear induced alignment of elongated particles is studied experimentally and numerically. We show that shear alignment of ensembles of macroscopic particles is comparable even on a…
An adaptive hierarchical domain decomposition method for parallel contact dynamics simulations of granular materials
Zahra Shojaaee, M. Reza Shaebani, Lothar Brendel +2
A fully parallel version of the contact dynamics (CD) method is presented in this paper. For large enough systems, 100% efficiency has been demonstrated for up to 256 processors us…
