Caging of a d-dimensional sphere and its relevance for the random dense sphere packing.
We analyze the caging of a hard sphere (i.e., the complete arrest of all translational motions) by randomly distributed static contact points on the sphere surface for arbitrary dimension d>/=1, and prove that the average number of uncorrelated contacts required to cage a sphere is (d)=2d+1. Computer simulations, which confirm this analytical result, are also used to model the effect of corr...
متن کاملNumerical Computations For Shear Bands in an Antiplane Shear Model
We study numerically a model for shear bands that is loosely based on anti-plane shearing of granular material. In the model, a shear band is idealized to a jump discontinuity in the solution to the dynamic PDE. We do not explicitly incorporate small scale eeects within the shear band into the model{rather at the shear band we impose a jump condition which includes a length parameter modeling t...
متن کاملShear bands in granular flow through a mixing length model
Abstract. We discuss the advantages and results of using a mixing-length, compressible model to account for shear banding behaviour in granular flow. We formulate a general approach based on two function of the solid fraction to be determined. Studying the vertical chute flow, we show that shear band thickness is always independent from flowrate in the quasistatic limit, for Coulomb wall bounda...
متن کاملDynamics of shear bands in a dense granular material forced by a slowly moving rigid body.
We experimentally investigate the flow field in plane geometry around a slowly moving rigid finger in a dry, randomly packed granular medium. The finger enters the medium vertically from its free surface, in analogy with indentation tests on ductile materials. By developing a particle imaging velocimetry technique, we identify a localized flow around the finger, limited by two nearly symmetric ...
متن کاملA method for dense packing discovery
The problem of packing a system of particles as densely as possible is foundational in the field of discrete geometry and is a powerful model in the material and biological sciences. As packing problems retreat from the reach of solution by analytic constructions, the importance of an efficient numerical method for conducting de novo (from-scratch) searches for dense packings becomes crucial. I...
