The role of gravity or pressure and contact stiffness in granular rheology

A Singh, V Magnanimo, K Saitoh… - New journal of …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
The steady-state shear rheology of granular materials is investigated in slow quasistatic and
inertial flows. The effect of gravity (thus the local pressure) and the often-neglected contact …

Microscopic origins of shear jamming for 2d frictional grains

D Wang, J Ren, JA Dijksman, H Zheng, RP Behringer - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
Shear jamming (SJ) occurs for frictional granular materials with packing fractions ϕ in ϕ S<
ϕ< ϕ J 0, when the material is subject to shear strain γ starting from a force-free state. Here …

Effects of particle size ratio on the macro-and microscopic behaviors of binary mixtures at the maximum packing efficiency state

W Zhou, K Xu, G Ma, L Yang, X Chang - Granular Matter, 2016 - Springer
