Cohesion-controlled granular material [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 We present a simple method to prepare a granular material with a controlled cohesion between particles. The granular material is made of spherical glass beads coated with a polyborosiloxane polymer. This material is proved to be stable in time and nonsensitive to temperature and humidity.

The variation of grain size distribution in rock granular material in seepage process considering the mechanical–hydrological–chemical coupling effect: an experimental research [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 As a common solid waste in geotechnical engineering, rock granular material should be properly treated and recycled. Rock granular material often coexists with water when it is used as the filling material in geotechnical engineering.

Modelling the hydromechanical behaviour of expansive granular mixtures upon hydration [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Bentonite pellet-powder mixtures are candidate sealing materials in radioactive waste disposal concepts. The mixture is installed in galleries in dry state as a granular material.

Ultrastable Shear-Jammed Granular Material
Physical Review X, 2022 Dry granular materials, such as sand, gravel, pills, or agricultural grains, can become rigid when compressed or sheared. Under isotropic compression, the material reaches a certain jamming density and then resists further compression.

Ratcheting of Granular Materials [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2004 We investigate the quasi-static mechanical response of soils under cyclic loading using a discrete model of randomly generated convex polygons. This response exhibits a sequence of regimes, each one characterized by a linear accumulation of plastic deformation with the number of cycles.

Designing architectural materials: from granular form to functional granular material
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2021 Abstract Designed granular materials are a novel class of architectural material system. Following one of the key paradigms of designed matter, material form and material function are closely interrelated in these systems. In this context, the article aims to contribute a parametric particle design model as an interface for this ...

Cellular automaton-based simulation of bulk stacking and recovery
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2022 Stockpiling is a key issue in bulk material handling. A small-scale, quasi-two-dimensional physical model was used to investigate size segregation during stacking and gravitational reclaim of stockpiles and to compare experimental results to those ones ...

Granular Media Friction Pad for Robot Shoes—Hexagon Patterning Enhances Friction on Wet Surfaces
Applied Sciences, 2021 For maximizing friction forces of robotic legs on an unknown/unpredictable substrate, we introduced the granular media friction pad, consisting of a thin elastic membrane encasing loosely filled granular material. On coming into contact with a substrate,
