Friction in Granular Media

Physics of Dry Granular Media

Abstract

Dissipative grain-grain interactions give rise to unexpected effective friction properties on scales large compared to the grain diameter and the time, for which two grains are in contact. For example, a spherical particle rolling along a rough surface experiences an effective velocity dependent friction. The underlying mechanism is also active in dense chute flow. Quite differently, the self organization of sliding and nonsliding contacts in a grain packing under shear leads to a friction force which depends on the acceleration. The reason is dynamic feedback: The static friction at nonsliding contacts, being reaction forces, depend on the acceleration of the packing as a whole.
