We report on experiments that probe the stability of a two-dimensional jammed granular system formed by imposing a quasistatic simple shear strain $gamma_{rm I}$ on an initially stress free packing. We subject the shear jammed system to quasistatic cyclic shear with strain amplitude $deltagamma$. We observe two distinct outcomes after thousands of shear cycles. For small $gamma_{rm I}$ or large $deltagamma$, the system reaches a stress-free, yielding state exhibiting diffusive strobed particle displacements with a diffusion coefficient proportional to $deltagamma$. For large $gamma_{rm I}$ and small $deltagamma$, the system evolves to a stable state in which both particle positions and contact forces are unchanged after each cycle and the response to small strain reversals is highly elastic. Compared to the original shear jammed state, a stable state reached after many cycles has a smaller stress anisotropy, a much higher shear stiffness, and less tendency to dilate when sheared. Remarkably, we find that stable states show a power-law relation between shear modulus and pressure with an exponent $betaapprox 0.5$, independent of $deltagamma$. Based on our measurements, we construct a phase diagram in the $(gamma_{rm I},deltagamma)$ plane showing where our shear-jammed granular materials either stabilize or yield in the long-time limit.

The question of how a disordered materials microstructure translates into macroscopic mechanical response is central to understanding and designing materials like pastes, foams and metallic glasses. Here, we examine a 2D soft jammed material under cy
clic shear, imaging the structure of ~50,000 particles. Below a certain strain amplitude, the structure becomes conserved at long times, while above, it continually rearranges. We identify the boundary between these regimes as a yield strain, defined without rheological measurement. Its value is consistent with a simultaneous but independent measurement of yielding by stress-controlled bulk rheometry. While there are virtually no irreversible rearrangements in the steady state below yielding, we find a largely stable population of plastic rearrangements that are reversed with each cycle. These results point to a microscopic view of mechanical properties under cyclic deformation.
We study the jamming phase diagram of sheared granular material using a novel Couette shear set-up with multi-ring bottom. The set-up uses small basal friction forces to apply a volume-conserving linear shear with no shear band to a granular system c
omposed of frictional photoelastic discs. The set-up can generate arbitrarily large shear strain due to its circular geometry, and the shear direction can be reversed, allowing us to measure a feature that distinguishes shear-jammed from fragile states. We report systematic measurements of the stress, strain and contact network structure at phase boundaries that have been difficult to access by traditional experimental techniques, including the yield stress curve and the jamming curve close to $phi_{SJ}approx 0.74$, the smallest packing fraction supporting a shear-jammed state. We observe fragile states created under large shear strain over a range of $phi < phi_{SJ}$. We also find a transition in the character of the quasi-static steady flow centered around $phi_{SJ}$ on the yield curve as a function of packing fraction. Near $phi_{SJ}$, the average contact number, fabric anisotropy, and non-rattler fraction all show a change of slope. Above $phi_{F}approx 0.7$ the steady flow shows measurable deviations from the basal linear shear profile, and above $phi_capprox 0.78$ the flow is localized in a shear band.
Considering a recently proposed model for the yielding of amorphous solids under cyclic shear deformation, we show that it can be analyzed by mapping it, in the simplest case, to a random walk in a confining potential with an absorbing boundary. The
dynamics is governed by the first passage time into the absorbing state, which captures the essential features of the original model, thereby providing insight into the observed robustness of earlier results. Including the possibility of activated escape from absorbing states leads to a unique determination of a threshold energy and yield strain, and further, suggests an appealing approach to understanding fatigue failure.
We study the rheology of dry and wet granular materials in the steady quasistatic regime using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) in a split-bottom ring shear cell with focus on the macroscopic friction. The aim of our study is to understand the local
rheology of bulk flow at various positions in the shear band, where the system is in critical state. The general(ized) rheology has four dimensionless control parameters that relate the time scales of five significant phenomena, namely, the time scales related to confining pressure $t_p$, shear rate $t_{dot{gamma}}$, particle stiffness $t_k$, gravity $t_g$ and cohesion $t_c$, respectively. We show that those phenomena collectively contribute to the rheology as multiplicative correction functions. While $t_{dot{gamma}}$ is large and thus little important for most of the data studied, it can increase the friction of flow in critical state, where the shear gradients are high. $t_g$ and $t_k$ are comparable to $t_p$ in the bulk, but become more or less dominant relative to $t_p$ at the extremes of the free surface and deep inside the bulk, respectively. We also measure the effect of strong wet cohesion on the flow rheology, as quantified by decreasing $t_c$. Furthermore, the proposed rheological model predicts well the shear thinning behavior both in the bulk and near the free surface; shear thinning develops to shear thickening near the free surface with increasing cohesion.
We present an X-ray tomography study of the segregation mechanisms of tracer particles in a three-dimensional cyclically sheared bi-disperse granular medium. Big tracers are dragged by convection to rise to the top surface and then remain trapped the
re due to the small downward convection cross-section, which leads to segregation. Additionally, we also find that the local structural up-down asymmetry due to arching effect around big tracers will induce the tracers to have a net upward displacement against its smaller neighbors, which is another mechanism for segregation.
