The compaction behavior of deformable grain assemblies beyond jamming remains bewildering, and existing models that seek to find the relationship between the confining …
Despite the significant progresses in the multi-scale studies of sand-rubber mixtures, the load-transfer mechanism within the soft-rigid granulate networks is highly unexplored. In this …

This paper aims to study the shear behavior of granular matter by DEM simulations. Granular samples are prepared by automatic clump generation algorithm to create particles …
Rubber-soil mixtures are known to have mechanical properties that enable their use in backfills, road construction or geotechnical seismic isolation systems. The complexity of …
This research focuses on performing ultrasound propagation measurements and micro-X- ray computed tomography (µXRCT) imaging on prestressed granular packings prepared …
This paper analyzes the compaction behavior of assemblies composed of soft (elastic) spherical particles beyond the jammed state, using three-dimensional non-smooth contact …

The micromechanical behaviour of two sand–rubber mixture samples (ie, a glass bead– rubber mixture sample (GB–R) and a Leighton Buzzard sand–rubber mixture sample (LBS …
We analyze the isotropic compaction of assemblies composed of soft pentagons interacting through classical Coulomb friction via numerical simulations. The effect of the initial particle …
The contact problem of soft-rigid interfaces is investigated in this study performing micromechanical-based experiments on sand (rigid) grains sliding against granulated (soft) …
