Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

A photoelastic material will reveal its internal stresses when observed through polarizing
filters. This eye-catching property has enlightened our understanding of granular materials …

由碎散物质组成的地质体失稳流滑大变形所致的地质灾害严重影响国民经济发展和人民生命
财产安全, 绝大多数造成此类地质灾害的对象属于颗粒物质, 而地质灾害与颗粒物质力学的交叉 …

Almost all of landslides, slope failures on the land and the submarine landslides are related
to the granular mechanics. The force distribution in the granular materials before failure is …

The essence of macroscopic shear band phenomena is the cumulative cooperation of
granular scale particle rearrangements. In this work, we report an experimental study to …

Penetration of intruders into granular packings is well described by separately considering
the dry or wet case of granular environments in previous experiments and simulations; …

The intensity gradient method (G 2 method), namely computing the light intensity gradient-
squared, is a widely used non-invasive experimental method to extract stress information …

Tuff rock is highly heterogeneous due to volcanic activity, hydrothermal alteration, and
weathering. It is difficult to explain the deterioration mechanisms of the weathered rocks …

To enable the mechanistic description of the mixing of larger particles in gas-fluidized beds
in models (eg fuel particles in combustors), knowledge about the rheology of the bed …

The geological disasters caused by avalanche, large scale deformation, and flow slide of the
geo-granular materials have brought massive destruction and potential threats to national …
