We experimentally investigate the fluidization of a granular material subject to mechanical
vibrations by monitoring the angular velocity of a vane suspended in the medium and driven …

We study the rheology of a granular material slowly driven in a confined geometry. The
motion is characterized by a steady sliding with a resistance force increasing with the driving …

We experimentally probe the anisotropy of weakly vibrated flowing granular media.
Depending on the driving parameters—flow rate and vibration strength—this anisotropy …

We experimentally measure a three-dimensional (3D) granular system's reversibility under
cyclic compression. We image the grains using a refractive-index-matched fluid, then …

We probe the rheology of weakly vibrated granular flows as function of flow rate, vibration
strength, and pressure by performing experiments in a vertically vibrated split-bottom shear …

We investigate the dynamics of a partially saturated grain-liquid mixture with a rotating drum
apparatus. The drum is partially filled with the mixture and then rotated about its horizontal …

Granular materials immersed in a fluid are ubiquitous in daily life, industry, and nature. They
include food processing, pastes, cosmetics, paints, concretes, cements, muds, wet sands …

We establish that the rheological curve of dry granular media is nonmonotonic, both in the
presence and absence of external mechanical agitations. In the presence of weak …

We perform molecular dynamic simulations of frictional non-thermal particles driven by an
externally applied shear stress. After the system jams following a transient flow, we probe its …

We study the dynamics of an intruder moving through a fluidized granular medium in three
dimensions (d= 3). The intruder and grains have both translational and rotational degrees of …
