Compressive behavior of high viscosity granular systems: Effect of particle size distribution
Abstract(#br)Granular compressive behavior has been evaluated with respect to particle size distribution. All granules were prepared with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) binder with viscosity ranging from 12 to 2413\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003ePa·s. All granules were prepared with 90% particulates and 10% binder by mass. Granules were prepared using two unimodal particle size distributions (420–595\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003eμm silica and 105–420\u003cce:hsp sp=\"0.25\"/\u003eμm silica) and two bimodal particle size distributions.
