    • Jamming of 3D prolate granular materials 

      Desmond, Kenneth; Franklin, Scott (Physical Review Letters, 2006-03-23)
      We have found that the ability of long thin rods to jam into a solid-like state in response to a local perturbation depends upon both the particle aspect ratio and the container size. The dynamic phase diagram in this ...
    • Two-dimensional packing in prolate granular materials 

      Stokely, Kevin; Diacou, A.; Franklin, Scott (Physical Review Letters, 2003-05-07)
      We investigate the two-dimensional packing of extremely prolate (aspect ratio = L/D > 10) granular materials, comparing experiments with Monte-Carlo simulations. In experimental piles of particles with aspect ratio ...
