Studies of random close packing of spheres have advanced our knowledge about the
structure of systems such as liquids, glasses, emulsions, granular media, and amorphous …

Jamming of monodisperse metal disks flowing through two-dimensional hoppers and silos is
studied experimentally. Repeating the flow experiment M times in a hopper or silo (HS) of …

Using experiments and simulations, we study the flow of soft particles through quasi-two-
dimensional hoppers. The first experiment uses oil-in-water emulsion droplets in a thin …

Given their small size, microchannels are susceptible to being blocked by small amounts of
solid matter. The lifetime of certain microfluidic devices depends on their ability to maintain …

The jamming of particles under flow is of critical importance in a broad range of natural and
industrial settings, such as the jamming of ice in rivers, or the plugging of suspended solids …

This handbook presents foundational techniques used to investigate granular systems,
examples of their use in contemporary research, and extensions to granular-like systems …

We have found that the ability of long thin rods to jam into a solidlike state in response to a
local perturbation depends upon both the particle aspect ratio and the container size. The …

Beton er det mest anvendte byggemateriale. Normal beton skal vibreres for at sikre
omstøbning af armering og at betonen opnår de ønskede egenskaber. For ca. 20 år siden …

Flow behaviors of four kinds of granular particles (ie sphere, ellipsoid, hexahedron and
binary mixture of sphere and hexahedron) in rectangular hoppers were experimentally …

We find the probability for N particles to exit an anisometric (having unequal dimensions)
hopper before jamming to have a broad power-law decay with exponent α=-2, in marked …
