Stress transmission in wet granular materials.
We analyze stress transmission in wet granular media in the pendular state by means of three-dimensional molecular-dynamics simulations. We show that the tensile action of capillary bonds induces a self-stressed particle network organized in two percolating "phases" of positive and negative particle pressures. Various statistical descriptors of the microstructure and bond force network are used...
متن کاملWet granular materials
Most studies on granular physics have focused on dry granular media, with no liquids between the grains. However, in geology and many real world applications (e.g., food processing, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, civil engineering, constructions, and many industrial applications), liquid is present between the grains. This produces inter-grain cohesion and drastically modifies the mechanical proper...
متن کاملStress Fluctuations for Continuously Sheared Granular Materials.
Experiments on continuously sheared granular materials (glass spheres) with diameters 1.0 # d # 5 mm show large fluctuations in the normal stress, sstd. Experiments are carried out in an annular Couette geometry for rotation rates 0.003 , Ù u , 1 radys. Power spectra from sstd, Psvd, show rate invariance in the fluctuations: Ù uPsvd is a function only of vy Ù u, independent of Ù u. Ù uPsvd depe...
متن کاملFlow of wet granular materials.
The transition from frictional to lubricated flows of a dense suspension of non-Brownian particles is studied. The pertinent parameter characterizing this transition is the Leighton number Le=eta(s)gamma / sigma, the ratio of lubrication to frictional forces. Le defines a critical shear rate below which no steady flow without localization exists. In the frictional regime the shear flow is local...
متن کاملJamming and Stress Propagation in Granular Materials
We have recently developed some simple continuum models of static granular media which display “fragile” behaviour: they predict that the medium is unable to support certain types of infinitesimal load (which we call “incompatible” loads) without plastic rearrangement. We argue that a fragile description may be appropriate when the mechanical integrity of the medium arises adaptively, in respon...
