• Intruder in a two-dimensional granular system: effects of dynamic and static basal friction on stick-slip and clogging dynamics 

    Carlevaro, Manuel; Kozlowski, Ryan; Pugnaloni, Luis; Zheng, Hu; Socolar, Joshua E. S.; Kondic, Lou (2019-10-15)
    We discuss the results of simulations of an intruder pulled through a two-dimensional granular system by a spring, using a model designed to lend insight into the experimental findings described by Kozlowski et al. [Phys. ...
  • Two approaches to quantification of force networks in particulate systems 

    Basak, Rituparna; Carlevaro, Manuel; Kozlowski, Ryan; Cheng, Chao; Pugnaloni, Luis A.; Kramár, Miroslav; Zheng, Hu; Socolar, Joshua E. S.; Kondic, Lou (2021-02-24)
    The interactions between particles in particulate systems are organized in ‘force networks’, mesoscale features that bridge between the particle scale and the scale of the system as a whole. While such networks are known ...
  • Universal features of the stick-slip dynamics of an intruder moving through a confined granular medium 

    Pugnaloni, Luis; Carlevaro, Manuel; Kozlowski, Ryan; Zheng, Hu; Kondic, Lou; Socolar, Joshua E. S.; 0000-0001-5766-6514; 0000-0003-3528-7614; 0000-0002-2602-038X; 0000-0002-9606-9947; 0000-0001-6966-9851; 0000-0003-0532-7099 (2022-04-21)
    Experiments and simulations of an intruder dragged by a spring through a two-dimensional annulus of granular material exhibit robust force fluctuations. At low packing fractions (φ < φ0), the intruder clears an open ...
