Granular packings of elongated faceted particles deposited under gravity

Abstract: Abstract. We report experimental and theoretical results of the effect that particle shape has on the packing properties of granular materials. We have systematically measured the particle angular distribution, the cluster size distribution and the stress profiles of ensembles of faceted elongated particles deposited in a bidimensional box. Stress transmission through this granular system has been numerically simulated using a two-dimensional model of irregular particles. For grains of maximum symmetry (square… Show more

“…Our results are in principle verifiable in experiments with sterically stabilized colloidal [43,46,[75][76][77][78][79] or granular [44,80] particles on a two-dimensional substrate. However, it should be noted that the particle number density field near the wall is more direct to obtain than the interfacial tension itself, which requires a thermodynamic integration.…”

“…Hence, the aspect ratio of the rods is d =2 .4a n dd =5 .4. It is important to note that the borders of the rods are truncated cones as explained in [23]. The square particles, d =1,are DIN 557 nuts 3.16 mm wide and 6.9 mm side.…”

“…In previous works we have clarified the remarkable role that flat faces play in the stress propagation of granular deposits [22,23]. Elongation favors rods' alignment transverse to gravity, hindering stress transmission to the lateral walls of the container.…”

“…For noncohesive particles, the packing topology is dominated by the formation of ordered structures consisting of aligned rods. Elongated grains tend to align horizontally and the stress is transmitted mainly from top to bottom, revealing an asymmetric distribution of local stress [74,75]. Kanzaki et al analyzed how this stress distribution changes if the two-dimensional container (silo) is partially discharged [76] through an orifice at the bottom.…”
