Density Fluctuations in Granular Piles Traversing the Glass Transition: A Grain-Scale Characterization of the Transition via the Internal Energy
Paula A Gago, Stefan Boettcher
The transition into a glassy state of the ensemble of static, mechanically stable configurations of a tapped granular pile is explored using extensive molecular dynamics simulation…
A numerical characterisation of unconfined strength of weakly consolidated granular packs and its effect on fluid-driven fracture behaviour
Paula A. Gago, Charalampos Konstantinou, Giovanna Biscontin +1
Soft or weakly-consolidated sand refers to porous materials composed of particles (or grains) weakly held together to form a solid but that can be easily broken when subjected to s…
Extremal fluctuations driving the relaxation in glassy energy landscapes
Stefan Boettcher, Paula A. Gago, Paolo Sibani
Cooperative events requiring anomalously large fluctuations are a defining characteristic for the onset of glassy relaxation across many materials. The importance of such intermitt…
