Particles encountered in nature and engineering practice are normally not spherical but of
irregular shapes. Particle shape plays a key role in determining the behaviour of bulk solids …

A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics of granular (particulate) systems is
not only of academic interest, but is also highly relevant for industrial applications …

One of the outstanding problems in understanding the behavior of intermediate-to-silicic
magmatic systems is the mechanism (s) by which large volumes of crystal-poor rhyolite can …

We investigate the structural, vibrational, and mechanical properties of jammed packings of
deformable particles with shape degrees of freedom in three dimensions (3D). Each 3D …

Partially molten rocks, often called a mush, are examples of a hydrogranular mixture where
the dynamics are controlled by both fluid and crystal‐crystal interactions. An obstacle to …

Packing densification of cubical particles under mechanical vibrations was dynamically
simulated by using discrete element method (DEM). Effects of operating parameters such as …

Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the packing properties of uniform silica
particles and their mixture with secondary particles yielding maximally loaded dental …

Optimising the quality of metal parts produced by additive manufacturing requires an
understanding of how the powder characteristics impact both layer spreading and the …

Several approaches to quantitative local structure characterization for particulate
assemblies, such as structural glasses or jammed packings, use the partition of space …

Understanding degassing of mafic magmas is important for modeling eruptions and
examining controls on eruption style. We conducted high-pressure–high-temperature …
