Friction and Dilatancy in Immersed Granular Matter
Friction and Dilatancy in Immersed Granular Matter
The friction of a sliding plate on a thin immersed granular layer obeys Amonton-Coulomb law. We bring to the fore a large set of experimental results which indicate that, over a few decades of values, the effective dynamical friction coefficient depends neither on the viscosity of the interstitial fluid nor …
