Cascade Crack in Chain of Beads
Meysam Bagheri, Thorsten Pöschel
We consider a homogeneous chain of spheres linked by liquid bridges under tension. The rupture of a single liquid bridge leads to a fragmentation cascade driven by the inverse rela…
Synchronization in bus systems with partially overlapping routes
Sakurako Tanida, Thorsten Pöschel
In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding congestion-related phenomena in transportation and their underlying mechanisms is crucial for improving efficiency. As the tr…
Shape effects in binary mixtures of PA12 powder in additive manufacturing
Sudeshna Roy, Thorsten Pöschel
The quality of the powder spread in additive manufacturing devices depends sensitively on the particles' shapes. Here, we study powder spreading for mixtures of spherical and irreg…
Enhanced Interlocking in Granular Jamming Grippers through Hard and Soft Particle Mixtures
Angel Santarossa, Thorsten Pöschel
We investigate the influence of particle stiffness on the grasping performance of granular grippers, a class of soft robotic effectors that utilize granular jamming for object mani…
