TLDR
It is found that particle shape controls the details of the stress-strain curves and can be used to tune packing stiffness and yielding and identify trends among the various shapes that allow for designing a packing's aggregate behavior.Abstract:
We present measurements of the stress response of packings formed from a wide range of particle shapes. Besides spheres these include convex shapes such as the Platonic solids, truncated tetrahedra, and triangular bipyramids, as well as more complex, non-convex geometries such as hexapods with various arm lengths, dolos, and tetrahedral frames. All particles were 3D-printed in hard resin. Well-defined initial packing states were established through preconditioning by cyclic loading under given confinement pressure. Starting from such initial states, stress–strain relationships for axial compression were obtained at four different confining pressures for each particle type. While confining pressure has the largest overall effect on the mechanical response, we find that particle shape controls the details of the stress–strain curves and can be used to tune packing stiffness and yielding. By correlating the experimentally measured values for the effective Young's modulus under compression, yield stress and energy loss during cyclic loading, we identify trends among the various shapes that allow for designing a packing's aggregate behavior.read more

Particle shape effects on fabric of granular random packing
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical investigation of particle shape effects on fabric of granular packing is carried out using the three dimensional discrete element method with a superellipsoid model, where a broad range of particle shapes controlled by two shape parameters (i.e., aspect ratio and blockiness) are taken into account.

Granular solids, liquids, and gases
TL;DR: Granular materials are ubiquitous in the world around us as discussed by the authors and have properties that are different from those commonly associated with either solids, liquids, or gases, and some of the special properties of granular materials and describe recent research developments.

Soil Behaviour and Critical State Soil Mechanics
TL;DR: In this article, the basic ingredients of a family of simple elastic-plastic models of soil behaviour are described and used in numerical analyses. But the models on which this book concentrates are simple, understanding of these will indicate the ways in which more sophisticated models will perform.

TL;DR: It is shown that volume changes of less than 0.5% suffice to grip objects reliably and hold them with forces exceeding many times their weight, and opens up new possibilities for the design of simple, yet highly adaptive systems that excel at fast gripping of complex objects.

TL;DR: It is shown experimentally and with a new simulation algorithm that ellipsoids can randomly pack more densely and suggested that the higher density is directly related to the higher number of degrees of freedom per particle and thus the larger number of particle contacts required to mechanically stabilize the packing.
