Sound propagation and force chains in granular materials
Granular materials are inherently heterogeneous, leading to challenges in formulating accurate models of sound propagation. In order to quantify acoustic responses in space and time, we perform experiments in a photoelastic granular material in which the internal stress pattern (in the form of force chains) is visible. We utilize two complementary methods, highspeed imaging and piezoelectric tr...
متن کاملInfluence of network topology on sound propagation in granular materials.
Granular media, whose features range from the particle scale to the force-chain scale and the bulk scale, are usually modeled as either particulate or continuum materials. In contrast with each of these approaches, network representations are natural for the simultaneous examination of microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic features. In this paper, we treat granular materials as spatially emb...
متن کاملSound wave propagation in weakly polydisperse granular materials.
Dynamic simulations of wave propagation are performed in dense granular media with a narrow polydisperse size-distribution and a linear contact-force law. A small perturbation is created on one side of a static packing and its propagation, for both P- and S-waves, is examined. A size variation comparable to the typical contact deformation already changes sound propagation considerably. The tran...
متن کاملPulse Propagation in Granular Chains
We study pulse propagation in one-dimensional granular chains of spherical granules. Our goal is to develop an analytic approach that makes it possible to predict pulse properties as a function of time. Our method is based on a binary collision approximation that reduces the problem to collisions involving only two granules at a time. We illustrate the procedure and show quantitative agreement ...
متن کاملJamming and Stress Propagation in Granular Materials
We have recently developed some simple continuum models of static granular media which display “fragile” behaviour: they predict that the medium is unable to support certain types of infinitesimal load (which we call “incompatible” loads) without plastic rearrangement. We argue that a fragile description may be appropriate when the mechanical integrity of the medium arises adaptively, in respon...
