Abstract: | The forces and particle motion during transient and oscillatory shear of granular material are investigated experimentally. In a shear cell of Taylor-Couette-type we find that how a granular shear flow starts depends strongly on the prior shear direction. If the shear direction is reversed, the material goes through a transient period during which the material compacts, the shear force is small, and the shear band is wide. Three-dimensional confocal imaging of particle rearrangements during shear reversal shows that bulk and surface flows are comparable. Repeated reversals, or oscillations of the shear direction, lead to additional compaction, which can be described by a stretched exponential, similar to compaction induced by tapping. |
