Onset of mechanical stability in random packings of frictional spheres
Melissa Jerkins, Matthias Schröter, Harry L. Swinney +3
Using sedimentation to obtain precisely controlled packings of noncohesive spheres, we find that the volume fraction of the loosest mechanically stable packing is in…
Influence of friction on granular segregation
Stephan Ulrich, Matthias Schröter, Harry L. Swinney
Vertical shaking of a mixture of small and large beads can lead to segregation where the large beads either accumulate at the top of the sample, the so called Brazil Nut effect (BN…
An invariant distribution in static granular media
T. Aste, T. Di Matteo, M. Saadatfar +3
We have discovered an invariant distribution for local packing configurations in static granular media. This distribution holds in experiments for packing fractions covering most o…
Stationary state volume fluctuations in a granular medium
Matthias Schröter, Daniel I. Goldman, Harry L. Swinney
A statistical description of static granular material requires ergodic sampling of the phase space spanned by the different configurations of the particles. We periodically fluidiz…
