Compaction dynamics of crunchy granular material
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Compaction of brittle porous material leads to a wide variety of densification patterns. Static compaction bands occurs naturally in rocks or bones, and have important consequences in industry for the manufacturing of powder tablets or metallic foams for

Granule structure influences on force chain development in the slag medium
地质科技通报, 2022 The slag dumps formed by mining activities are irregular granular media. Their particle size gradations are complex and granule structures are unstable.The stress between particles is transferred through the dependently unstable force chain.

Granular shear flow in varying gravitational environments [PDF]
, 2013 Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter. Understanding the response of this granular material subject to external forces in microgravity conditions is vital to the ...

Jamming for a 2D granular material [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2010 This paper focuses on the nature of jamming, as seen in two-dimensional frictional granular systems consisting of photoelastic particles. The photoelastic technique is unique at this time, in its capability to provide detailed particle-scale information on forces and kinematic quantities such as particle displacements and rotations.

Granular flows down inclined channels with a strain-rate dependent friction coefficient. Part I: Non-cohesive materials [PDF]
, 2008 The flow of a granular material down an incline of finite width with a strain-rate dependent coefficient of friction and a conical yield criterion is semi-analytically obtained using a characteristic method for flows on a deep layer of grains.

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

Micromechanics of Liquefaction in Granular Materials [PDF]
Physical Review Applied, 2018 A discrete element method (DEM) implementation is developed to study the micromechanics of liquefaction in granular materials. In a liquefaction event, the pore water acts as a cushion between the grains, reducing the contact and friction forces and the overall soil strength.
