Cellular automaton-based simulation of bulk stacking and recovery

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesApplied 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,

Exploring chemo-mechanics of granular material using DEM [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2021
Particle Size Distribution (PSD) is one of the prime guiding factors of granular media response. Degradation via weathering is a process, which brings about a gradual shift in the PSD. In nature, chemically sensitive material like calcite undergoes chemo-

Combined Effect of Compaction Methods and Loading Conditions on the Deformation Behaviour of Unbound Granular Material

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Unbound granular material is an important construction material that is used for flexible pavement. As one of the most important indices used for describing the properties of unbound granular material, the deformation characteristic is significantly ...

Granular jamming based robotic gripper for heavy objects; pp. 421–428 [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2019
Moving heavy objects with overhead cranes requires the operator to fasten the object to a hook with ropes or chains. This is a time-consuming process, which could be avoided by using universal grippers that can lift objects of any shape.

Damping mechanisms of granular-material damper in structure with high natural frequency (Study of flow of vibration energy)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019
We investigated the damping mechanism of a granular-material damper for a structure with a high natural frequency. We focused on the flow of the granular-material vibration energy and considered its relationship with the damping characteristics.

Acoustical properties of double porosity granular materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Granular materials have been conventionally used for acoustic treatment due to their sound absorptive and sound insulating properties. An emerging field is the study of the acoustical properties of multiscale porous materials.

Estimation of Grain Size in Randomly Packed Granular Material Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

open access: yesChemosensors, 2022
Grain size is one of the most important physical parameters for randomly packed granular (RPG) materials. Its estimation, especially in situ, plays a key role in many natural and industrial processes.

Damping mechanisms of vibration reduction system with granular materials for vibration system with high natural frequency (Proposal of “relative motion mass”, “rotating mass”, and their consideration)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
We investigated the damping mechanism of a granular material damping system applied to reducing vibration in structures that have a high natural frequency and small vibration displacement. Experiments were conducted under several conditions of total mass
