Force chains and contact network topology in packings of elongated particles
Émilien Azema, Farhang Radjaï
By means of contact dynamic simulations, we investigate the contact network topology and force chains in two-dimensional packings of elongated particles modeled by rounded-cap rect…
Quasistatic rheology, force transmission and fabric properties of a packing of irregular polyhedral particles
Émilien Azema, F. RadjaÏ, G. Saussine
By means of contact dynamics simulations, we investigate a dense packing composed of polyhedral particles under quasistatic shearing. The effect of particle shape is analyzed by co…
Force transmission in a packing of pentagonal particles
Émilien Azema, Farhang Radjai, Robert Peyroux +1
We perform a detailed analysis of the contact force network in a dense confined packing of pentagonal particles simulated by means of the contact dynamics method. The effect of par…
Vibrational dynamics of confined granular material
Emilien Azema, Farhang Radjaï, Robert Peyroux +2
By means of two-dimensional contact dynamics simulations, we analyze the vibrational dynamics of a confined granular layer in response to harmonic forcing. We use irregular polygon…
