Abstract: Abstract Numerous high-performance computations of discrete element simulations of the direct-shear test investigate macroscopic and microscopic responses of granular materials. Volumetric dilation and mobilized friction angles are compared with spheres and sphere-clusters to investigate the… read more here.

Abstract: We study the transition between steady flows of noncohesive granular materials in quasi-two-dimensional bounded heaps by suddenly changing the feed rate. In both experiments and simulations, the primary feature of the transition is a wedge… read more here.
