Based on discrete element method simulations, we propose a new form of the constitution equation for granular flows independent of packing fraction. Rescaling the stress ratio $mu$ by a power of dimensionless temperature $Theta$ makes the data from a wide set of flow geometries collapse to a master curve depending only on the inertial number $I$. The basic power-law structure appears robust to varying particle properties (e.g. surface friction) in both 2D and 3D systems. We show how this rheology fits and extends frameworks such as kinetic theory and the Nonlocal Granular Fluidity model.

The way granular materials response to an applied shear stress is of the utmost relevance to both human activities and natural environment. One of the their most intriguing and less understood behavior, is the stick-instability, whose most dramatic m
anifestation are earthquakes, ultimately governed by the dynamics of rocks and debris jammed within the fault gauge. Many of the features of earthquakes, i.e. intermittency, broad times and energy scale involved, are mimicked by a very simple experimental set-up, where small beads of glass under load are slowly sheared by an elastic medium. Analyzing data from long lasting experiments, we identify a critical dynamical regime, that can be related to known theoretical models used for crackling-noise phenomena. In particular, we focus on the average shape of the slip velocity, observing a breakdown of scaling: while small slips show a self-similar shape, large does not, in a way that suggests the presence of subtle inertial effects within the granular system. In order to characterise the crossover between the two regimes, we investigate the frictional response of the system, which we trat as a stochastic quantity. Computing different averages, we evidence a weakening effect, whose Stribeck threshold velocity can be related to the aforementioned breaking of scaling.
The rheology of cohesive granular materials, under a constant pressure condition, is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Depending on the shear rate, pressure, and interparticle cohesiveness, the system exhibits four distinctive phases: uni
form shear, oscillation, shear-banding, and clustering. The friction coefficient is found to increase with the inertial number, irrespective of the cohesiveness. The friction coefficient becomes larger for strong cohesion. This trend is explained by the anisotropies of the coordination number and angular distribution of the interparticle forces. In particular, we demonstrate that the second-nearest neighbors play a role in the rheology of cohesive systems.
Hydrated granular packings often crack into discrete clusters of grains when dried. Despite its ubiquity, accurate prediction of cracking remains elusive. Here, we elucidate the previously overlooked role of individual grain shrinkage---a feature com
mon to many materials---in determining crack patterning using both experiments and simulations. By extending the classical Griffith crack theory, we obtain a scaling law that quantifies how cluster size depends on the interplay between grain shrinkage, stiffness, and size---applicable to a diverse array of shrinkable, granular packings.
Rheological properties of a dense granular material consisting of frictionless spheres are investigated. It is found that the shear stress, the pressure, and the kinetic temperature obey critical scaling near the jamming transition point, which is co
nsidered as a critical point. These scaling laws have some peculiar properties in view of conventional critical phenomena because the exponents depend on the interparticle force models so that they are not universal. It is also found that these scaling laws imply the relation between the exponents that describe the growing correlation length.
In order to understand the nature of friction in closely-packed granular materials, a discrete element simulation on granular layers subjected to isobaric plain shear is performed. It is found that the friction coefficient increases as the power of t
he shear rate, the exponent of which does not depend on the material constants. Using a nondimensional parameter that is known as the inertial number, the power-law can be cast in a generalized form so that the friction coefficients at different confining pressures collapse on the same curve. We show that the volume fraction also obeys a power-law.
