Behaviour of granular suspensions…

Quantifying the impact of vibrations on the rheological properties of granular suspensions is advantageous for many applications, whether environmental or industrial. For example, understanding the effects of seismic shaking on soil liquefaction and measuring the vibrations to be applied to concrete to ensure it is cast effectively, are problems still to be resolved. To gain a better understanding of these phenomena, we measured the impact of controlled vibrations on the rheology of a model granular medium consisting of glass beads (~ 100μm) saturated with liquid (volume fraction in the order of 60%)…
