A granular material is a conglomeration of discrete solid, macroscopic particles characterized by a loss of energy whenever the particles interact (the...

mechanics, dilatancy or shear dilatancy is the volume change observed in granular materials when they are subjected to shear deformations. This effect was first...

In granular mechanics, the μ(I) rheology is one model of the rheology of a granular flow. The inertial number of a granular flow is a dimensionless quantity...

which quantifies the significance of dynamic effects on the flow of a granular material. It measures the ratio of inertial forces of grains to imposed forces:...

materials include liquids, colloids, polymers, foams, gels, granular materials, liquid crystals, flesh, and a number of biomaterials. These materials...
