Packing geometry and statistics of force networks in granular media
Jacco H. Snoeijer, Martin van Hecke, Ellak Somfai +1
The relation between packing geometry and force network statistics is studied for granular media. Based on simulations of two-dimensional packings of Hertzian spheres, we develop a…
Universal and wide shear zones in granular bulk flow
Denis Fenistein, Jan Willem van de Meent, Martin van Hecke
We present experiments on slow granular flows in a modified (split-bottomed) Couette geometry in which wide and tunable shear zones are created away from the sidewalls. For increas…
Force network ensemble: a new approach to static granular matter
Jacco H. Snoeijer, Thijs. J. H. Vlugt, Martin van Hecke +1
An ensemble approach for force distributions in static granular packings is developed. This framework is based on the separation of packing and force scales, together with an a-pri…
Hole-defect chaos in the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation
Martin Howard, Martin van Hecke
We study the spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of holes and defects in the 1D complex Ginzburg--Landau equation (CGLE). We focus particularly on the self--disordering dynamics of h…
