Abstract: The distribution of stresses within individual granular particles subjected to one-dimensional (1D) confined compression is affected by various particle-scale properties, such as morphology, kinematics, position, crystal ...

Abstract: The mechanisms of force transmission in granular materials is a classic physics problem that has been addressed since the 19th century, when Heinrich Rudolf Hertz investigated the interaction between two similar objects ...

Abstract: Recent studies have shown that detection of the onset and evolution of micro shear bands (MSBs) in granular materials can be improved using measurements of the kinematic behavior of particles. Different methods such as the ...
