We study the drag force on discrete objects with circular cross section moving slowly through a spherical granular medium. Variations in the geometry of the dragged object change the drag force only by a small fraction relative to shape…
Impact of a solid object onto a small-body surface can be modeled by the solid impact onto a hierarchically structured granular target. Impact drag force model for the hierarchically structured granular target is developed based on the…
We report on experimentally measured drag force experienced by a solid cylinder penetrating a granular bed of glass beads including, specifically, a highly polydisperse sample with grain sizes in the range 1-100 {\mu}m. We consider both…
The flow behavior of granular matter is significantly influenced by the shape of constituent particles. This effect is particularly pronounced for very concave particles, which exhibit unique flow characteristics such as higher porosity and…
Predicting the force exerted on an object as it penetrates a granular medium is of interest in engineering, locomotive, and geotechnical applications. Current models of granular drag, however, vary widely in applicability and…
Direct measurements of the acceleration of spheres and disks impacting granular media reveal simple power law scalings along with complex dynamics which bear the signatures of both fluid and solid behavior. The penetration depth scales…
We investigate the unjamming response of disordered packings of frictional hard disks with the help of computer simulations. First, we generate jammed configurations of the disks and then force them to move again by local perturbations. We…
We investigate the effective friction encountered by a mass sliding on a granular layer as a function of bed thickness and boundary roughness conditions. The observed friction has minima for a small number of layers before it increases and…
We investigate experimentally the dynamics of an intruder dragged by a constant force in an assembly of horizontally vibrated grains close to jamming. At moderate packing fractions, the intruder moves rapidly as soon as the force is…
When dense granular systems are exposed to external forcing, they evolve on the time scale that is typically related to the externally imposed one (shear or compression rate, for example). This evolution could be characterized by observing…
Intruder mechanics in a granular aggregate is a common subject in engineering and geotechnical applications. However, most studies are limited to spherical intruders or small displacement regimes up to the point of failure. In this work we…
We demonstrate that the elasticity of jammed solids is nonlocal. By forcing frictionless soft sphere packings at varying wavelength, we directly access their transverse and longitudinal compliances without resorting to curve fitting. The…
Liquid drop impact and penetration into a granular layer are investigated with diverse liquids and granular materials. We use various size of SiC abrasives and glass beads as a target granular material. We also employ ethanol and glycerol…
The interaction between a fluid and a wall is described with a certain boundary condition for the fluid velocity at the wall. To understand how fluids behave near a rough wall, the fluid velocity at every point of the rough surface may be…
The penetration by a gravity driven impact of a solid sphere into a granular medium is studied by two-dimensional simulations. The scaling laws observed experimentally for both the final penetration depth and the stopping time with the…
We investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, the fow and structure of a slurry when sheared between 2 horizontal plates. The slurry, otherwise called a "wet granular material", is made of non-Brownian particles immersed in a…
When a large blunt object penetrates into a granular material, the force response exhibits an initial nonlinear relationship with depth that is widely attributed to the formation of a shear jammed stagnant zone. We present an experimental…
Unlike dry granular materials, a dense granular suspension like cornstarch in water can strongly resist extensional flows. At low extension rates, such a suspension behaves like a viscous liquid, but rapid extension results in a response…
We present data for the penetration of a variety of spheres, dropped from rest, into a level non-cohesive granular medium. We improve upon our earlier work [Uehara {\it et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 194301 (2003)] in three regards.…
We investigate the drag forces acting on large objects moving through a granular packing immersed in water. In this aim, we conducted uplift experiments involving pulling out horizontal plates at a prescribed velocity vertically. During…
