Landslides comprised of a wide range of particle sizes (eg debris flows) exhibit flow
structures arising from particle size segregation. Segregation influences the mobility of the …

The aggregate segregation for asphalt mixtures, characterized by non-uniform particle
distribution, significantly undermines the quality and performance of pavements. This …

This study develops a model for the angle of repose (AOR) of granular materials composed
of non-spherical particles represented by a superquadric function featuring five distinct …

The quality of powder spread in additive manufacturing devices depends sensitively on
particle shapes. Here, we study powder spreading for mixtures of spherical and irregularly …

Surface mining may be humanity's most tangible impact on Earth's surface and will become
more prevalent as the energy transition progresses. Prediction of post-mining landscape …

Particle segregation in dense flowing size-disperse granular mixtures is driven by gravity
and shear, but predicting the associated segregation force due to both effects has remained …

Yielding via oscillatory deformation is investigated for a model two-dimensional dense glass
composed of bidisperse, deformable polymer rings, with the ring stiffness being the control …

Granular materials in nature are nearly always nonspherical, but particle shape effects in
granular flow remain largely elusive. This study uses discrete element method simulations to …

In this study, we explore the intersection of mechanical testing and particle imaging
techniques, offering a new perspective on granular material science. We examine a range of …

Friction-induced energy dissipation is one of the key factors contributing to the unique
properties of granular materials, such as the preparation history dependence of the packing …
