摘要:

颗粒样品的机械性能通常取决于填料的制备方式。然而,还不清楚包装的哪些属性存储了这些信息。在这里,我们提出了一个X射线断层扫描研究的三对四面体填料准备与三个不同的攻丝协议。每对填料中的填料在通过其接触施加在颗粒上的机械约束$C$的数量上有所不同,而它们的体积分数$ϕ_{global}$大致相同。我们将$C$分解为四面体之间可能的三种不同接触类型的贡献--面对面(F2 F)、边对面(E2 F)和点接触--每种接触都固定了不同数量的约束。然后,我们进行局部分析的接触分布分组的颗粒在一起,根据其各自的体积分数$ϕ_{local}$计算从Voronoi镶嵌。我们发现,在已经足够长的时间内,F2 F接触的数量成为$ϕ_{local}$的通用函数的样本。相反,E2 F和点接触的数量随着所应用的分接协议而变化。此外,我们发现的Voronoi细胞的形状的各向异性依赖于轻敲协议。这种行为不同于球体和椭球体,并且是任何平均场方法对四面体填充的重要约束。

英文摘要:

The mechanical properties of a granular sample depend frequently on the way the packing was prepared. However, is not well understood which properties of the packing store this information. Here we present an X-ray tomography study of three pairs of tetrahedra packings prepared with three different tapping protocols. The packings in each pair differs in the number of mechanical constraints $C$ imposed on the particles by their contacts, while their bulk volume fraction $ϕ_{global}$ is approximately the same. We decompose $C$ into the contributions of the three different contact types possible between tetrahedra -- face-to-face (F2F), edge-to-face (E2F), and point contacts -- which each fix a different amount of constraints. We then perform a local analysis of the contact distribution by grouping the particles together according to their individual volume fraction $ϕ_{local}$ computed from a Voronoi tessellation. We find that in samples which have been tapped sufficiently long the number of F2F contacts becomes an universal function of $ϕ_{local}$. In contrast the number of E2F and point contacts varies with the applied tapping protocol. Moreover, we find that the anisotropy of the shape of the Voronoi cells depends on the tapping protocol. This behavior differs from spheres and ellipsoids and posses a significant constraint for any mean-field approach to tetrahedra packings.
