Title: Impact compaction of a granular material

Abstract

The dynamic behavior of granular materials has importance to a variety of engineering applications. Structural seismic coupling, planetary science, and earth penetration mechanics, are just a few of the application areas. Although the mechanical behavior of granular materials of various types have been studied extensively for several decades, the dynamic behavior of such materials remains poorly understood. High-quality experimental data are needed to improve our general understanding of granular material compaction physics. This study will describe how an instrumented plunger impact system can be used to measure pressure-density relationships for model materials at high and controlled strain rates and subsequently used for computational modeling.

Quantifying particle-scale 3D granular dynamics during rapid compaction from time-resolved in situ 2D x-ray images

Journal Article Gupta, A. ; Crum, R. S. ; Zhai, C. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Understanding the particle-scale dynamics of granular materials during rapid compaction and flow is of fundamental importance for manufacturing, planetary science, geology, and defense applications. Time-resolved 2D radiography and static 3D x-ray tomography are powerful in situ tools for studying particle-scale dynamics but provide detail only in 2D or with significant time-scale limitations, respectively. Here, we introduce a new method that uses 2D in situ x-ray imaging for determining time-resolved 3D particle-scale dynamics in rapidly compressed granular materials. The method employs initial particle packing structures obtained from x-ray tomography, a 2D x-ray image generation algorithm, and an optimization algorithm. We firstmore »« less

Effects of particle size, shape and loading rate on the normal compaction of an advanced granular ceramic

Journal Article Sun, Xiangyu ; Kuwik, Brett S. ; Yang, Qirong ; ... - Powder Technology

Compaction behavior of granular materials is influenced by strain rate, particle size, and shape. In this report, boron carbide powders with different particle sizes under uni-axial strain conditions are studied using quasi-static compression, dynamic Kolsky bar experiments and normal plate impact. A rounded powder is compacted to investigate the effect of particle shape. The normal plate impact technique is an excellent tool in characterization of powder compaction behavior up to strain rates of ~10⁵ s^-1. From our experiments, granular boron carbide shows a highly compressible behavior with significant volume compaction. Constitutive responses are obtained for four powders. Particle fracture ismore »« less

Nonlinear dynamical triggering of slow slip

Conference Johnson, Paul A ; Knuth, Matthew W ; Kaproth, Bryan M ; ...

Among the most fascinating, recent discoveries in seismology have been the phenomena of triggered slip, including triggered earthquakes and triggered-tremor, as well as triggered slow, silent-slip during which no seismic energy is radiated. Because fault nucleation depths cannot be probed directly, the physical regimes in which these phenomena occur are poorly understood. Thus determining physical properties that control diverse types of triggered fault sliding and what frictional constitutive laws govern triggered faulting variability is challenging. We are characterizing the physical controls of triggered faulting with the goal of developing constitutive relations by conducting laboratory and numerical modeling experiments in shearedmore »« less

The high-pressure dimension in earth and planetary science

Journal Article Mao, Ho-kwang ; Hemley, Russell J - Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA

The bulk of our planet is hidden from view, within the earth, under high pressures and temperatures. The behavior of this material dictates the formation, evolution, and present state of the solid earth. Recent geophysical and geochemical studies of the planet present us with a rich array of large-scale processes and phenomena that are not fully understood. These range from the fate of deeply subducted slabs and the origin of plumes, to the nature of the core-mantle boundary; the differentiation of materials to form the present-day crust, mantle, and core; the distribution of trace elements; and the uptake and recyclingmore »« less

In situ grain fracture mechanics during uniaxial compaction of granular solids

Journal Article Hurley, R. C. ; Lind, J. ; Pagan, D. C. ; ... - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids

Grain fracture and crushing are known to influence the macroscopic mechanical behavior of granular materials and be influenced by factors such as grain composition, morphology, and microstructure. In this paper, we investigate grain fracture and crushing by combining synchrotron x-ray computed tomography and three-dimensional x-ray diffraction to study two granular samples undergoing uniaxial compaction. Our measurements provide details of grain kinematics, contacts, average intra-granular stresses, inter-particle forces, and intra-grain crystal and fracture plane orientations. Our analyses elucidate the complex nature of fracture and crushing, showing that: (1) the average stress states of grains prior to fracture vary widely in theirmore »« less
