We perform the analog to the water bell experiment using non-cohesive granular material. When a jet of granular material, many particles wide, rebounds from a fixed cylindrical target, it deforms into a sharply-defined sheet or cone with a shape that mimics a liquid with zero surface tension. The particulate nature of granular material becomes apparent when the number of particles in the cross-section of the jet is decreased and the emerging sheets and cones broaden and gradually disintegrate into a broad spray. This experiment has its counterpart in the behavior of the quark-gluon plasma generated by collisions of gold ions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. There a high density of inter-particle collisions gives rise to collective behavior that has also been described as a liquid.

Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been a subject of intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last decade granular matter attracted significant attention of physicists. Yet despite a major efforts by man
y groups, the theoretical description of granular systems remains largely a plethora of different, often contradicting concepts and approaches. Authors give an overview of various theoretical models emerged in the physics of granular matter, with the focus on the onset of collective behavior and pattern formation. Their aim is two-fold: to identify general principles common for granular systems and other complex non-equilibrium systems, and to elucidate important distinctions between collective behavior in granular and continuum pattern-forming systems.
We test the elasticity of granular aggregates using increments of shear and volume strain in a numerical simulation. We find that the increment in volume strain is almost reversible, but the increment in shear strain is not. The strength of this irre
versibility increases as the average number of contacts per particle (the coordination number) decreases. For increments of volume strain, an elastic model that includes both average and fluctuating motions between contacting particles reproduces well the numerical results over the entire range of coordination numbers. For increments of shear strain, the theory and simulations agree quite well for high values of the coordination number.
We perform three-dimensional simulations of a granular jet impact for both frictional and frictionless grains. Small shear stress observed in the experiment[X. Cheng et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 188001 (2007) ] is reproduced through our simulation. H
owever, the fluid state after the impact is far from a perfect fluid, and thus, similarity between granular jets and quark gluon plasma is superficial, because the observed viscosity is finite and its value is consistent with the prediction of the kinetic theory.
Surface tension is a prominent factor for the deformation of solids at micro-/nano-scale. This paper investigates the effects of surface tension on the two-dimensional contact problems of an elastic layer bonded to the rigid substrate. Under the plan
e strain assumption, the elastic field induced by a uniformly distributed pressure within a finite width is formulated by applying the Fourier integral transform, and the limiting process leading to the solutions for a line force brings the requisite surface Greens function. For the indentation of an elastic layer by a rigid cylinder, the corresponding singular integral equation is derived, and subsequently solved by using an effective numerical method based on Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature formula. It is found from the theoretical and numerical results that the existence of surface tension strongly enhances the hardness of the elastic layer and significantly affects the distribution of contact pressure, when the size of contact region is comparable to the elastocapillary length. In addition, an approximated relationship between external load and half-width of contact is generalized in an explicit and concise form, which is useful and convenient for practical applications.
Collective behavior widely exists in nature, ranging from the macroscopic cloud of swallows to the microscopic cloud of colloidal particles. The behavior of an individual inside the collective is distinctive from its behavior alone, as it follows its
neighbors. The introduction of such collective behavior in two-dimensional (2D) materials may offer new possibilities to achieve desired but unattained properties. Here, we report a highly sensitive magneto-optic effect and transmissive magneto-coloration via introducing collective behavior into magnetic 2D material dispersions. The increase of ionic strength in the dispersion enhances the collective behavior of colloidal particles, giving rise to a magneto-optic Cotton-Mouton coefficient up to 2700 T-2m-1 which is the highest value obtained so far, being three orders of magnitude larger than other known transparent media. We also reveal linearly dependence of magneto-coloration on the concentration and hydration radius of ions. Such linear dependence and the extremely large Cotton-Mouton coefficient cooperatively allow fabrication of giant magneto-birefringent devices for color-centered visual sensing.
