Gel-like mechanisms of durability and deformability in wet granular systems
Abstract It is known empirically that dry granular materials tend to crumble and that wetting them greatly increases their strength. Although the mechanism of the macroscopic material strength is known in homogeneously wetted granular system, the material strength in heterogeneously wetted granular...
