Influence of particle elasticity in shear testers
Dirk Kadau, Dominik Schwesig, Joerg Theuerkauf +1
Two dimensional simulations of non-cohesive granular matter in a biaxial shear tester are discussed. The effect of particle elasticity on the mechanical behavior is investigated us…
Morphologies of three-dimensional shear bands in granular media
S. Fazekas, J. Torok, J. Kertesz +1
We present numerical results on spontaneous symmetry breaking strain localization in axisymmetric triaxial shear tests of granular materials. We simulated shear band formation usin…
Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of sintering
F. Westerhoff, R. Zinetullin, D. E. Wolf
We simulate the sintering of particle aggregates due to surface diffusion. As a method we use Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations in which elasticity can explicitly be taken into accou…
Aggregation in Charged Nano Suspensions
J. H. Werth, S. M. Dammer, H. A. Knudsen +2
In order to control aggregation phenomena in suspensions of nanoparticles, one often charges the particles electrically, e.g. by triboelectric charging. Stabilization of suspension…
Coupling between static friction force and torque
Silvio R. Dahmen, Zeno Farkas, Haye Hinrichsen +1
We show that the static friction force which must be overcome to render a sticking contact sliding is reduced if an external torque is also exerted. As a test system we study a pla…
Coupling between static friction force and torque for a tripod
Silvio R. Dahmen, Haye Hinrichsen, Andrey Lysov +1
If a body is resting on a flat surface, the maximal static friction force before motion sets in is reduced if an external torque is also applied. The coupling between the static fr…
