Friction in Granular Flows
1990
From simple microscopic considerations we propose an expression for the frictional force in granular materials. This force has very nonlinear behavior as a function of the shear rate. The mechanism we propose predicts the existence of a characteristic shear rate, 0, which separates regions of stable from unstable flow. Our formulation can explain the hysteresis phenomena commonly observed in granular materials.
