Kinetic theory of aggregation in granular flow [PDF]
This article presents a mathematical formulation of the aggregation kinetics in granular flow. The traditional kinetic theory and its generalized application to granular flow does not allow for particle size to change with time thus cannot be used to ...

Viscoelasticity of granular materials
Abstract In a former work (V.T. Granik and M. Ferrari (1993), Microstructural mechanics of granular media, Mech. Mater. 15, 301–322) a micromechanical theory for elastic granular media was deduced on the basis of the identification of the constituent grains with the nodes of a Bravais lattice.

Scaling properties of granular materials [PDF]
Given an assembly of viscoelastic spheres with certain material properties, we raise the question how the macroscopic properties of the assembly will change if all lengths of the system, i.e. radii, container size etc., are scaled by a constant. The result leads to a method to scale down experiments to lab-size.

Mixing Fluids and Granular Materials [PDF]
AbstractFluid animations in computer graphics show interactions with various kinds of objects. However, fluid flowing through a granular material such as sand is still not possible within current frameworks. In this paper, we present the simulation of fine granular materials interacting with fluids.

Transport Properties and Segregation Phenomena in Vibrating Granular Beds
Granular materials are common in daily life and in many industrial processes. Both fundamental research and industrial application studies are crucial for understanding the transport properties and segregation mechanisms of vibrating granular beds.

Micromechanics-based stress-dilatancy relationship for granular materials
From the perspective of micromechanics, the formulas for the average contact force and contact displacement in the granular are derived based on the true stress tensor, then the stress-shear dilatancy relationship considering the fabric anisotropy and ...

The variation of grain size distribution in rock granular material in seepage process considering the mechanical–hydrological–chemical coupling effect: an experimental research [PDF]
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.

Granular flows down inclined channels with a strain-rate dependent friction coefficient. Part I: Non-cohesive materials [PDF]
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 Crystals: Controlling Mechanical Energy with Nonlinearity and Discreteness [PDF]
The presence of structural discreteness and periodicity can affect the propagation of phonons, sound, and other mechanical waves. A fundamental property of many of the periodic structures and materials designed for this purpose is the presence of ...
