Hyperuniform states of matter are correlated systems that are characterized by an
anomalous suppression of long-wavelength (ie, large-length-scale) density fluctuations …

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 …

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. A broad …

In materials science, high performance is typically associated with regularity and order,
while disorder and the presence of defects are assumed to lead to sub-optimal outcomes …

We describe the most important developments in the application of three theoretical tools to
modeling of the morphology of porous media and flow and transport processes in them. One …

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 …

We present a systematic numerical investigation of the shear strength and structure of
granular packings composed of irregular polyhedral particles. The angularity of the particles …

Over 200 years after Coulomb's studies, a general connection between the mechanical
response of a granular material and the constituents' shape remains unknown,,,,,,,,. The key …

This paper investigated the effect of the particle angularity in light of its importance in
angular particle assemblies, using the discrete element method (DEM). A discrete element …

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