Down to the root of vegetated soil
Challenges and the state-of-the-art
Vegetated soil plays an essential role in confronting climate change. Soil, together with its ecosystem, stores vast amounts of carbon; it is also the construction material most widely used for the built environment. The expected impacts of climate change, such as extreme wett ...
This paper aims to understand the effect of different particle/contact properties like friction, softness and cohesion on the compression/dilation of sheared granular materials. We focus on the local volume fraction in steady state of various non-cohesive, dry cohesive and mod ...
Processability of powders in high load compaction constitutes a challenge due to particle rearrangement, compression and breakage occurring simultaneously. Although tableting is a central operation in pharmaceutical technology, a better understanding of the link between the ma ...
The bulk properties of powders depend on material characteristics and size of the primary particles. During storage and transportation processes in the powder processing industry, the material undergoes various modes of deformation and stress conditions, e.g., due to compressi ...
Granular materials and particulate matter are ubiquitous in our daily life and they display interesting bulk behaviors from static to dynamic, solid to fluid or gas like states, or even all these states together. To understand how the micro structure and inter-particle forces ...
