From liquid to solid bonding in cohesive granular media
Jean-Yves Delenne, Fabien Soulié, Moulay Saïd El Youssoufi +1
We study the transition of a granular packing from liquid to solid bonding in the course of drying. The particles are initially wetted by a liquid brine and the cohesion of the pac…
Stress transmission in wet granular materials
Vincent Richefeu, Farhang Radjaï, Moulay Saïd El Youssoufi
We analyze stress transmission in wet granular media in the pendular state by means of three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the tensile action of capillar…
Shear strength properties of wet granular materials
Vincent Richefeu, Moulay Saïd El Youssoufi, Farhang Radjaï
We investigate shear strength properties of wet granular materials in the pendular state (i.e. the state where the liquid phase is discontinuous) as a function of water content. Sa…
Self-stresses and Crack Formation by Particle Swelling in Cohesive Granular Media
Moulay Said El Youssoufi, Jean-Yves Delenne, Farhang Radjai
We present a molecular dynamics study of force patterns, tensile strength and crack formation in a cohesive granular model where the particles are subjected to swelling or shrinkag…
