Cell aggregation: packing soft grains.
Cellular aggregates may be considered as collections of membrane enclosed units with a pressure difference between the internal and external liquid phases. Cells are kept together by membrane adhesion and/or confined space compression. Pattern formation and, in particular, intercellular spacing have important roles in controlling solvent diffusion within such aggregates. A physical approach is ...
متن کاملDefining random loose packing for nonspherical grains.
The concept of "random loose packing" (RLP) has evolved through extensive study of loose packings of spheres, which has resulted in an accepted definition as the loosest packing that can be obtained by pouring grains. We extend this consideration to packings of nonspherical grains (ellipsoids) formed by slow settling in a viscous liquid, and perform a detailed analysis of the structural propert...
متن کاملCalibration of a Model for Packing Whole Grains
The computer program WPACKING was validated using bin data for three different bin conditions: 1) a smooth-walled bin filled with wheat, 2) a corrugated-walled bin filled with wheat, and 3) a corrugated-walled bin filled with corn. WPACKING is a computer program which utilizes the differential form of Janssen’s equation to predict the pressures and amount of material stored in a bin. The differ...
متن کاملRigidity of a Vibrated Amorphous Bi-Dimensional Packing of Grains
The Jamming transition can be seen as a general phenomenon occurring whenever a dense assembly of “things” gets stuck and resists to an externally applied shear stress. The mechanical response of a vibrated amorphous bi-dimensional packing of grains close to the Jamming transition is investigated. Stress is applied to the media through a constant torque rheometer while surface fraction is tuned...
متن کاملFragmentation of grains in a two - dimensional packing ?
A numerical model of fragmentation of a two-dimensional granular medium under pressure is investigated. The fragmentation process is found to be strongly dependent on the type of force used as the criterion for breaking the grains. The fragmentation mode affects the process less dramatically. There is a power-law divergence in the pressure when the medium approaches the full packing limit, (c −...
