Stress Fluctuations for Continuously Sheared Granular Materials.
Experiments on continuously sheared granular materials (glass spheres) with diameters 1.0 # d # 5 mm show large fluctuations in the normal stress, sstd. Experiments are carried out in an annular Couette geometry for rotation rates 0.003 , Ù u , 1 radys. Power spectra from sstd, Psvd, show rate invariance in the fluctuations: Ù uPsvd is a function only of vy Ù u, independent of Ù u. Ù uPsvd depe...
متن کاملLiquid migration in sheared unsaturated granular media
We show how liquid migrates in sheared unsaturated granular media using a grain scale model for capillary bridges. Liquid is redistributed to neighboring contacts after rupture of individual capillary bridges leading to redistribution of liquid on large scales. The liquid profile evolution coincides with a recently developed continuum description for liquid migration in shear bands. The velocit...
متن کاملGranular shear flow dynamics and forces: experiment and continuum theory.
We analyze the main features of granular shear flow through experimental measurements in a Couette geometry and a comparison to a locally Newtonian, continuum model of granular flow. The model is based on earlier hydrodynamic models, adjusted to take into account the experimentally observed coupling between fluctuations in particle motion and mean-flow properties. Experimentally, the local velo...
متن کاملMultilaminate Elastoplastic Model for Granular Media
A multilaminate based model capable of predicting the behavior of granular material on the basis of sliding mechanisms and elastic behavior of particles is presented. The capability of the model to predict the behavior of sand under arbitrary stress paths is examined. The influences of rotation of the direction of principal stress axes and induced anisotropy are included in a rational way witho...
متن کاملVelocity autocorrelations and viscosity renormalization in sheared granular flows.
The decay of the velocity autocorrelation function in a sheared granular flow is analyzed in the limit where the wavelength of fluctuations is larger than the "conduction length," so that energy is a nonconserved variable. The decay of the velocity autocorrelation function is much faster than that in a fluid at equilibrium for which energy is a conserved variable. Specifically, the autocorrelat...
