Gravity and Granular Materials
We describe experiments that probe a number of different types of granular flow where either gravity is effectively eliminated or it is modulated in time. These experiments Include the shaking of granular materials both vertically and horizontally, and the shearing of a 2D granular material. For the shaken system, we identify interesting dynamical phenomena and relate them to standard simple fr...
متن کاملEvaluation of Grading Effect on Behavior of Rockfill Materials via Large-Scale Experiments
The rockfill structures are widely constructed throughout the world and rockfills are largely used in these structures as main materials or filler materials. In the crust of earth dams, the rockfill materials role is to stabilize the body of the dam, however, the behavior of these materials in Particular their shear strength is not fully understood. In this study, different tests have been cond...

Keywords: Rockfill creep Particle mechanics method Water weakening Wetting–drying cycles Particle breakage Abrasion a b s t r a c t Rockfill is an important construction material for infrastructure engineering, such as dams, railways and airport foundations, which display a long-term post-construction settlement. However, the main mechanisms for rockfill creep and weathering influence still rem...
متن کاملPoisson's ratio and modern materials.
In comparing a material's resistance to distort under mechanical load rather than to alter in volume, Poisson's ratio offers the fundamental metric by which to compare the performance of any material when strained elastically. The numerical limits are set by ½ and -1, between which all stable isotropic materials are found. With new experiments, computational methods and routes to materials synt...
متن کاملNegative Poisson's Ratio Materials.
Reentrant polymer foam materials with negative Poisson's ratios, as described by Lakes (1), are a new class of materials with unique properties. The thermodynamic restriction on the compressibility, K, of an elastic material is that it must be positive for stability. The compressibility is related to the shear modulus, G, and Poisson's ratio, v, by K = 3/2[(1 2v)/G(1+ v)], so v is restricted to...
