Training, Memory and Universal Scaling in Amorphous Frictional Granular Matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a joint experimental and theoretical investigation of cyclic training of amorphous frictional granular assemblies, with special attention to memory formation and retention. Measures of dissipation and compactification are introduced, culminating with a proposed scaling law for the reducing dissipation and increasing memory. This scaling law is expected to be universal, insensitive to the details of the elastic and frictional interactions between the granules.

Universal slip dynamics in metallic glasses and granular matter – linking frictional weakening with inertial effects
Slowly strained solids deform via intermittent slips that exhibit a material-independent critical size distribution. Here, by comparing two disparate systems - granular materials and bulk metallic glasses - we show evidence that not only the statistics of slips but also their dynamics are remarkably similar, i.e. independent of the microscopic details of the material. By resolving and comparing...
متن کاملCritical scaling near jamming transition for frictional granular particles.
The critical rheology of sheared frictional granular materials near jamming transition is numerically investigated. It is confirmed that there exists a true critical density which characterizes the onset of the yield stress and two fictitious critical densities which characterize the scaling laws of rheological properties. We find the existence of a hysteresis loop between two of the critical d...
متن کاملFrom force distribution to average coordination number in frictional granular matter
We study the joint probability distribution of normal and tangential frictional forces in jammed granular media, Pμ(ft , fn), for various values of the friction coefficient μ, especially when μ = ∞. A universal scaling law is found to collapse the data for μ = 0 to ∞, demonstrating a link between the force distribution Pμ(ft , fn) and the average coordination number, z c . The results determine...
متن کاملUniversality of slip avalanches in flowing granular matter.
The search for scale-bridging relations in the deformation of amorphous materials presents a current challenge with tremendous applications in material science, engineering and geology. While generic features in the flow and microscopic dynamics support the idea of a universal scaling theory of deformation, direct microscopic evidence remains poor. Here, we provide the first measurement of inte...
متن کاملStress-dependent normal-mode frequencies from the effective mass of granular matter.
A zero-temperature critical point has been invoked to control the anomalous behavior of granular matter as it approaches jamming or mechanical arrest. Criticality manifests itself in an anomalous spectrum of low-frequency normal modes and scaling behavior near the jamming transition. The critical point may explain the peculiar mechanical properties of dissimilar systems such as glasses and gran...
