Friction-controlled reentrant aging and fluidization in granular materials
Ye Yuan, Walter Kob, Hajime Tanaka
Granular materials densify under repeated mechanical perturbations, a nonequilibrium dynamics that underlies many natural and industrial processes. Because granular relaxation is g…

Identifying Bridges from Asymmetric Load-Bearing Structures in Tapped Granular Packings
Chijin Zhou, Shuyang Zhang, Xueliang Dai +5
Using high-resolution x-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate the bridge structures in tapped granular packings composed of particles with varying friction coefficients. We…
