The Roles of Size, Packing, and Cohesion in the Emergence of Force Chains in Granular Packings

Submitted by AnkitShrivastava on

Dear colleagues,

 

I am sharing our latest publication. The study investigates the impact of particle size disparity and cohesion on force chain formation in granular media. Using computational methods, we examined bi-disperse systems under uniaxial compression, with spherical, frictionless particles interacting through a modified Hookean model. The effects of particle packing were decoupled to independently assess the influence of size distribution and cohesion on force chains, characterized by the radial density function and the fraction of particles in the force chain network.
