Evolution of the pore size distribution in sheared binary glasses

Porosity and Pore Size Distribution

A soil’s porosity and pore size distribution characterize its pore space, that portion of the soil’s volume that is not occupied by or isolated by solid material. The basic character of the pore space affects and is affected by critical aspects of almost everything that occurs in the soil: the movement of water, air, and other fluids; the transport and the reaction of chemicals; and the residen...

Correlations of plasticity in sheared glasses.

In a recent paper [Mandal et al., Phys. Rev. E 88, 022129 (2013)], the nature of spatial correlations of plasticity in hard-sphere glasses was addressed both via computer simulations and in experiments. It was found that the experimentally obtained correlations obey a power law, whereas the correlations from simulations are better fitted by an exponential decay. We here provide direct evidence-...

Pore-size Distribution in a Biomembrane Model

In a recent paper the author has suggested a model which each lipid has more space available. This leads for a two-dimensional lipid bilayer in which both shortto an increase in the energy of the configuration. range repulsive forces and long-range attractive forces Because of the very large number of degrees of freeplay a role, and for which the equilibrium statistical dom the outcome of this ...

Pore Size Distribution in Granular Material Microstructure

Pore scale modeling plays a key role in fluid flow through porous media and associated macroscale constitutive relationships. The polyhedral shape and effective local pore size within granular material microstructure are computed in this study by means of the Euclidean Distance Transform (EDT), a local maxima search (non-maximum suppression), and a segmentation process. Various synthetic packed...
