Twisting, an alternative strategy to compact granular materials

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Nowadays, the common method to pack granular materials is to tap the ensemble against the gravity. Despite the apparent simplicity of that method, the asymptotic states reached by the tapped systems have strongly dependences on parameters like the shape ...

Real‐Time Remodeling of Granular Terrain for Robot Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2022
Terrain irregularities in natural environments present mobility challenges for autonomous robots and vehicles. Loosely consolidated sandy slopes flow unpredictably when perturbed, often leading to locomotion failure.

Topological study of persistent homology on complicated force chain network evolution in granular media

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2023
The force chain network is a crucial basis for characterizing the essential features of granular media microscopic mechanics and for studying the mechanical behavior of their macroscopic structures.

Hysteresis in vibrated granular media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Some general dynamical properties of models for compaction of granular media based on master equations are analyzed. In particular, a one-dimensional lattice model with short-ranged dynamical constraints is considered.

Regolith Excavation Performance of a Screw‐Propelled Vehicle

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
Excavation of regolith is the enabling process for many of the in situ resource utilization (ISRU) efforts that are being considered to aid in the human exploration of the moon and Mars.

Vertical drag force acting on intruders of different shapes in granular media

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The penetration of large objects into granular media is encountered commonly both in nature (e.g. impacts of meteors and projectiles) and engineering applications (e.g. insertion of tractor blades into sand).

Granular Resistive Force Theory Extension for Saturated Wet Sand Ground

open access: yesMachines, 2022
Amphibious environments formed from sand and water present a formidable challenge to the running motion of field robots, as the mixing of granular media (GM) and water makes the force laws of robotic legs more complicated during robot running.

Why granular media are thermal after all

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Two approaches exist to account for granular behavior. The thermal one considers the total entropy, which includes microscopic degrees of freedom such as phonons; the athermal one (as with the Edward entropy) takes grains as elementary.

Analytical method for stress of granular medium foundation under vertical load

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The analytical method for stress of foundation under vertical load is an important basis of design and computation in foundation engineering. However, the existing methods cannot reflect the properties of granular media for foundation soils.
