Laboratory Studies of Granular Materials Under Shear: From Avalanches to Force Chains
<p>Granular materials reveal their complexity and some of their unique features when subjected to shear deformation. They can dilate, behave like a solid or a fluid, and are known to carry external forces preferentially as force chains. In this dissertation, we employ laboratory experiments to...
