Ratcheting of granular materials.
We investigate the quasistatic mechanical response of soils under cyclic loading using a discrete model of randomly generated convex polygons. This response exhibits a sequence of regimes, each one characterized by a linear accumulation of plastic deformation with the number of cycles. At the grain level, a quasiperiodic ratchetlike behavior is observed at the contacts, which excludes the exist...
متن کاملMicroscopic origin of granular ratcheting.
Numerical simulations of assemblies of grains under cyclic loading exhibit "granular ratcheting:" a small net deformation occurs with each cycle, leading to a linear accumulation of deformation with cycle number. We show that this is due to a curious property of the most frequently used models of the particle-particle interaction: namely, that the potential energy stored in contacts is path dep...
متن کاملGranular Rayleigh-Taylor instability: experiments and simulations.
A granular instability driven by gravity is studied experimentally and numerically. The instability arises as grains fall in a closed Hele-Shaw cell where a layer of dense granular material is positioned above a layer of air. The initially flat front defined by the grains subsequently develops into a pattern of falling granular fingers separated by rising bubbles of air. A transient coarsening ...
متن کاملCompaction of granular materials: experiments and contact dynamics simulations
We present an original experimental study of the slow compaction dynamics for twodimensional isotropic granular systems. Compaction dynamics is measured at three different scales : the macroscopic scale through the normalized packing fraction ρ̃, the mesoscopic scale through the normalized fraction φ̃ of domains ideally ordered in the system, and the microscopic scale through the grain mobility μ...
متن کاملExperiments and simulations of a gravitational granular flow instability.
An instability is observed as a layer of dense granular material positioned above a layer of air falls in a gravitational field [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 048001 (2007)]. A characteristic pattern of fingers emerges along the interface defined by the grains, and a transient coarsening of the structure is caused by a coalescence of neighboring fingers. The coarsening is limited by the production of ne...
