Measurement of Growing Dynamical Lengthscales and Prediction of the Jamming Transition in a Granular Material
Aaron S. Keys, Adam R. Abate, Sharon C. Glotzer +1
Supercooled liquids and dense colloids exhibit anomalous behaviour known as "spatially heterogeneous dynamics" (SHD), which becomes increasingly pronounced with approach to the gla…
Air fluidized balls in a background of smaller beads
M. E. Beverland, L. J. Daniels, D. J. Durian
We report on quasi-two-dimensional granular systems in which either one or two large balls is fluidized by an upflow of air in the presence of a background of several hundred small…
Propagating Waves in a Monolayer of Gas-Fluidized Rods
L. J. Daniels, D. J. Durian
We report on an observation of propagating compression waves in a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of apolar granular rods fluidized by an upflow of air. The collective wave speed i…
Dynamical Heterogeneities in Grains and Foams
Olivier Dauchot, Douglas J. Durian, Martin van Hecke
Dynamical heterogeneities have been introduced in the context of the glass transition of molecular liquids and the lengthscale associated with them has been argued to be at the ori…
Abrasion of flat rotating shapes
A. E. Roth, C. M. Marques, D. J. Durian
We report on the erosion of flat linoleum "pebbles" under steady rotation in a slurry of abrasive grit. To quantify shape as a function of time, we develop a general method in whic…
Centrifugal compression of soft particle packings - theory and experiment
K. N. Nordstrom, E. Verneuil, W. G. Ellenbroek +3
An exact method is developed for computing the height of an elastic medium subjected to centrifugal compression, for arbitrary constitutive relation between stress and strain. Exam…
