A Unified Glassy Rheology for Granular Matter
Zhikun Zeng, Jiazhao Xu, Hanyu Li +14
Granular flows are ubiquitous in nature and industrial applications, yet a complete continuum theory remains a long-standing challenge. The leading empirical approach, μ(I) rheolo…

Competition between Glassy Five-Fold Structures and Locally Dense Packing Structures Governs Two-Stage Compaction of Granular Hexapods
Rudan Luo, Houfei Yuan, Yi Xing +9
Using X-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate the structural evolution of packings composed of 3D-printed hexapod particles, each formed by three mutually orthogonal sphero…

Compaction of Granular Columns under Thermal Cycling
Yuxuan Luo, Haiyang Lu, Xinyu Ai +5
Granular materials undergo compaction under periodic temperature fluctuations, leading to various engineering and geological phenomena from landslides to silo compaction. Although…
