In 1989, Sir Sam Edwards made the visionary proposition to treat jammed granular materials
using a volume ensemble of equiprobable jammed states in analogy to thermal equilibrium …

Granular physics has made considerable progress during the past decades in the
understanding of static and dynamic properties of large ensembles of interacting …

This study aims to numerically investigate the dependence of shear behaviors of granular
materials on particle multi-level morphology, encompassing form (mean of elongation and …

Independent from their intended purpose, the understanding of structural characteristics of
random packings of particles having defined shapes is important to understand and optimize …

Finding the optimal random packing of non-spherical particles is an open problem with great
significance in a broad range of scientific and engineering fields. So far, this search has …

In this paper, the random packing of spherocylinders of different aspect ratios is simulated
with an improved geometric based relaxation algorithm. It is shown that the packing density …

Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and
engineering. However, such jammed matter states have eluded any systematic theoretical …

We studied the evaporation-induced formation of supraparticles from dispersions of
elongated colloidal particles using experiments and computer simulations. Aqueous …

In this study, the monodisperse and polydisperse packings with intentionally designed
angularity index (AI) and roughness (RG) distributions were constructed via DEM …

A spherocylinder, a convex 3D object consisting of a cylinder with two hemispherical ends,
can possess a wide range of aspect ratios and is one of the most studied non-spherical …
