We experimentally measure the static stress at the bottom of a granular chains column with a precise and reproducible method. The relation, between the filling mass and the apparent mass converted from the bottom stress, is investigated on various chain lengths. Our measurements reconfirm that the scaling behavior of the stress saturation curves is in accord with the theoretical expectation of the Janssen model. Additionally, the saturation mass is displayed as a nonmonotonic function of the chain length, where a distinguishing transition of the saturation mass is found at the persistence length of the granular chain. We repeat the measurement with another measuring methodology and a silo with different size, respectively, the position of the peak maintains robust. In order to understand the transition of the saturation mass, the friction coefficient and the volume fraction of granular chains are also measured, from which Janssen parameter can be calculated. Finally, we preliminarily measure the bottom stress for two distinct packing structures of long chains, find the effect of the entanglements on the bottom stress, and argue that the entanglements might be responsible for the transition of the saturation mass.

The dynamical behavior of the column that made up binary granular beads is investigated systematically by tracking the displacement of particles in the collapse process. An experimental setup is first devised to control the quasi-static collapse of a
granular column, and then observe the trajectories of tracer particles by using an industrial camera controlled by the image acquisition program. It is found that there exist two zones in column: a sliding region in which particles are moving in a layered structure; a static region within which particles are stationary. According to this analytical result, a dynamical model is developed to predict the trajectory evolution of particles in the space-time. The calculating result for the trajectories of particles on the selected layers is well consistent with the experimental observation.
We present a systematic investigation of the distribution of normal forces at the boundaries of static packings of spheres. A new method for the efficient construction of large hexagonal-close-packed crystals is introduced and used to study the effec
t of spatial ordering on the distribution of forces. Under uniaxial compression we find that the form for the probability distribution of normal forces between particles does not depend strongly on crystallinity or inter-particle friction. In all cases the distribution decays exponentially at large forces and shows a plateau or possibly a small peak near the average force but does not tend to zero at small forces.
The drag force exerted on an object intruding into granular media can depend on the objects velocity as well as the depth penetrated. We report on intrusion experiments at constant speed over four orders in magnitude together with systematic molecula
r dynamics simulations well beyond the quasi-static regime. We find that velocity dependence crosses over to depth dependence at a characteristic time after initial impact. This crossover time scale, which depends on penetration speed, depth, gravity and intruder geometry, challenges current models that assume additive contributions to the drag.
Structural characteristics are considered to be the dominant factors in determining the effective properties of granular media, particularly in the scope of transport phenomena. Towards improved heat management, thermal transport in granular media re
quires an improved fundamental understanding. In this study, the effects of packing structure on heat transfer in granular media are evaluated at macro- and grain-scales. At the grain-scale, a gas-solid coupling heat transfer model is adapted into a discrete-element-method to simulate this transport phenomenon. The numerical framework is validated by experimental data obtained using a plane source technique, and the Smoluschowski effect of the gas phase is found to be captured by this extension. By considering packings of spherical SiO2 grains with an interstitial helium phase, vibration induced ordering in granular media is studied, using the simulation methods developed here, to investigate how disorder-to-order transitions of packing structure enhance effective thermal conductivity. Grain-scale thermal transport is shown to be influenced by the local neighbourhood configuration of individual grains. The formation of an ordered packing structure enhances both global and local thermal transport. This study provides a structure approach to explain transport phenomena, which can be applied in properties modification for granular media.
Granular crystallisation is an important phenomenon whereby ordered packing structures form in granular matter under vibration. However, compared with the well-developed principles of crystallisation at the atomic scale, crystallisation in granular m
atter remains relatively poorly understood. To investigate this behaviour further and bridge the fields of granular matter and materials science, we simulated mono-disperse spheres confined in cylindrical containers to study their structural dynamics during vibration. By applying adequate vibration, disorder-to-order transitions were induced. Such transitions were characterised at the particle scale through bond orientation order parameters. As a result, emergent crystallisation was indicated by the enhancement of the local order of individual particles and the number of ordered particles. The observed heterogeneous crystallisation was characterised by the evolution of the spatial distributions via coarse-graining the order index. Crystalline regimes epitaxially grew from templates formed near the container walls during vibration, here termed the wall effect. By varying the geometrical dimensions of cylindrical containers, the obtained crystallised structures were found to differ at the cylindrical wall zone and the planar bottom wall zone. The formed packing structures were quantitatively compared to X-ray tomography results using again these order parameters. The findings here provide a microscopic perspective for developing laws governing structural dynamics in granular matter.
