Roadmap

• What/Why granular materials?• Behavior of disordered solids—possible

universal behavior?• Where granular materials and molecular

matter part company—open questions of relevant scales

Experiments at Duke explore:• Forces, force fluctuations• Isotropic jamming• Effect of shear—anisotropic stresses

What are Granular Materials?

• Collections of macroscopic ‘hard’ particles: interactions are dissipative/frictional– Classical h 0

– Highly dissipative

– Draw energy for fluctuations from macroscopic flow

– Large collective systems, but outside normal statistical physics

– Although many-body, a-thermal in the usual sense

– Exist in phases: granular gases, fluids and solids

– Analogues to other disordered solids: glasses, colloids..

– May be dry or wet

Broader context: Disordered N-body systems—far from equilibrium

• There exist a number of such systems: glasses, foams, colloidal suspensions, granular materials,…

• For various reasons, these systems are not in ordinary thermal equilibrium (although temperature may still play a role)

• Energy may not be conserved

• Other conservation rules—e.g. stress, may apply

Standard picture of jamming

• Jamming—how disordered N-body systems becomes solid-like as particles are brought into contact, or fluid-like when grains are separated

• Density is implicated as a key parameter, expressed as packing (solid fraction) φ

• Marginal stability (isostaticity) for spherical particles (disks in 2D) contact number, Z, attains a critical value, Ziso at φiso

JammingHow do disordered solids lose/gain their solidity?

Bouchaud et al.

Liu and Nagel

Theoretical tools: Statistical ensembles: what to do when energy is not conserved?

• Edwards ensemble for rigid particles: V replaces E

• Real particles are deformable (elastic): forces, stresses, and torques matter, and are ‘conserved’ for static systems—hence force/stress ensembles emerge

• Snoeijer, van Saarloos et al. Tighe, Socolar et al., Henkes and Chakraborty and O’Hern, Makse et al.

Experimental tools: what to measure, and how to look inside complex systems

• Confocal techniques in 3D—with fluid-suspended particles—for colloids, emulsions, fluidized granular systems

• Bulk measurements—2D and 3D

• Measurements at boundaries—3D

• 2D measurements: particle tracking, Photoelastic techniques (this talk)

• Numerical experiments—MD/DEM

What happens when shear is applied?

Plasticity—irreversible deformation when a material is sheared

• System becomes anisotropic—e.g. long force chains form

• Shear causes irreversible (plastic) deformation. Particles move ‘around’ each other

• What is the microscopic nature of this process for granular materials?

Different types methods of applying shear

• Example1: pure shear

• Example 2: simple shear

• Example 3: steady shear

Use experiments to explore:• Forces, force fluctuations ◄• Jamming—isotropic• Shear and anisotropic stresses

Experiments to determine vector contact forces, distribution

P1(F) is example of particle-scale statistical measure

Overview of Experiments

~2500 particles, bi-disperse, dL=0.9cm, dS= 0.8cm, NS /NL = 4

Measuring forces by photoelasticity

Basic principles of technique

• Process images to obtain particle centers and contacts

• Interparticle contact forces determine stresses within each particle, including principal stresses, σi

• Stresses determine photoelastic response:

I = Iosin2[(σ2- σ1)CT/λ]

• Now go backwards, using nonlinear inverse technique to obtain contact forces

• In the previous step, invoke force and torque balance

• Newton’s 3d law provides error checking

From T. Majmudar and RPB, Nature, 2005

Stress ensemble models for P(f)

• Consider all possible states consistent with applied external forces, or other boundary conditions—assume all possible states occur with equal probability

• Compute Fraction where at least one contact force has value f P(f)

• E.g. Snoeier et al. PRL 92, 054302 (2004)• Tighe et al. Phys. Rev. E, 72, 031306 (2005)

Some Typical Cases—isotropic compression and shear

Latest update—B. Tigue, this session

What about force correlations?

Compression Shear

Correlation functions determine important scales

• C(r) = <Q(r + r’) Q(r’)>

• <> average over all vector displacements r’

• For isotropic cases, average over all directions in r.

• Angular averages should not be done for anisotropic systems

Spatial correlations of forces—angle dependent

Both directions equivalent

JammingHow do disordered solids lose/gain their solidity?

Liu and Nagel

The Isotropic Jamming Transition—Point J

• Simple question:

What happens to key properties such as pressure, contact number as a sample is isotropically compressed/dilated through the point of mechanical stability?

Predictions for spherical frictionless particles (e.g. O’Hern et al. Torquato et al., Schwarz et al., Wyart et al.

Z ~ ZI +(φ – φc)ά

(discontinuity)Exponent ά ≈ 1/2

P ~(φ – φc)β

Z = contacts/particle; Φ = packing fraction

β depends on force law(= 1 for ideal disks)

S. Henkes and B. Chakraborty: entropy-based model gives P and Z in terms of a field conjugate to entropy. Can eliminate to get P(z)

Experiment: Characterizing the Jamming Transition—Isotropic compression

Isotropiccompression

Majmudar et al. PRL 98, 058001 (2007)

How do we obtain stresses and Z?

Fabric tensorRij = k,c nc

ik ncjk

Z = trace[R]

Stress tensor:ij = (1/A) k,c rc

ik fcjk

A is system area, trace of stress tensor gives P

LSQ Fits for Z give an exponent of 0.5 to 0.6

LSQ Fits for P give β ≈ 1.0 to 1.1

Shear near jamming

• Example1: pure shear

• Example 2: simple shear

• Example 3: steady shear

Starting point is anisotropic, unjammed state

Isotroic jammingpoint at φ = 0.82

Start here, with φ = 0.76

What happens for granular materials subject to pure shear?

J. Zhang et al. to appear, Granular Matter

Use biax and photoelastic particlesMark particles with UV-sensitiveDye for tracking

Apply Cyclic Pure Shear—starting from an unjammed state

Resulting state with polarizer

And without polarizer

Consider one cycle of shear

Particle Displacements and Rotations

Forward shear—under UV

Deformation Field—Shear band forms

At strain = 0.085 At strain = 0.105—largest plastic event

At strain = 0.111

Particle displacement and rotation (forward shear)

• Green arrows are displace- ment of particle center

• Blob size stands for rotation magnitude

• Blue color—clockwise rotation

• Brown color— counterclockwise rotation

• Mean displacement subtracted

Stresses and Z

Hysteresis in stress-strain and Z-strain curves

But!! Apparent scaling for stresses vs. Z

Force Distributions

Normal forces

Tangential forces

Corrections for missed contacts

Estimate of missed contacts:

∫0F-min P(F)dF/∫0

∞ P(F)dF

Similar approach corrects P, butEffect is much smaller, since

P ~ ∫ F P(F) dF

How do we contemplate jamming in frictional granular materials?

Sheared granularmaterials fail to other stable states

Note that ReynoldsDilatancy weaklyconfined samples dilate under shear—Hence, rigidly confinedmaterials show an iσncrease of P under shear

Conclusions

• Granular materials show important features due to friction

• Distributions of forces show sensitivity to stress state but agree reasonably with stress-ensemble approach

• Correlations for forces in sheared systems—thus, force chains can be mesoscopic

• Predictions for jamming (mostly) verified• Granular states near jamming show jamming

under shear at densities below isotropic jamming• Friction (and also preparation history) implicated• Z may be key variable for shear failure/jamming• Generalized SGR explains rate-dependence

What is actual force law for our disks?
