Pore Size Distribution in Granular Material Microstructure
Pore scale modeling plays a key role in fluid flow through porous media and associated macroscale constitutive relationships. The polyhedral shape and effective local pore size within granular material microstructure are computed in this study by means of the Euclidean Distance Transform (EDT), a local maxima search (non-maximum suppression), and a segmentation process. Various synthetic packed...
متن کاملFracture of a model cohesive granular material.
We study experimentally the fracture mechanisms of a model cohesive granular medium consisting of glass beads held together by solidified polymer bridges. The elastic response of this material can be controlled by changing the cross-linking of the polymer phase, for example. Here we show that its fracture toughness can be tuned over an order of magnitude by adjusting the stiffness and size of t...
متن کاملA Resistive Force Model for Legged Locomotion on Granular Media*
Compared to agile legged animals, wheeled and tracked vehicles often suffer large performance loss on granular surfaces like sand and gravel. Understanding the mechanics of legged locomotion on granular media can aid the development of legged robots with improved mobility on granular surfaces; however, no general force model yet exists for granular media to predict ground reaction forces during...
متن کاملCrystallisation in a granular material
The athermal and dissipative nature of packings of grains is still challenging our understanding of their compaction as well as their crystallisation. For instance, some beads poured in a container get jammed in random disordered con gurations, which cannot be denser than 64%, the random closed packing (RCP) limit. Remarkably it has been suggested that the RCP bound is saturated with dense patt...
متن کاملForce Relaxation in the q–model for Granular Media
We study the relaxation of force distributions in the q-model, assuming a uniform q-distribution. We show that ”diffusion of correlations” makes this relaxation very slow. On a d–dimensional lattice, the asymptotic state is approached as l(1−d)/2, where l is the number of layers from the top. Furthermore, we derive asymptotic modes of decay, along which an arbitrary short–range correlated initi...
