The limited results show that the change of void vector-based fabric tensor appears to be affected by the corresponding components of the particle orientation-based fabric tensor and contact normal-based fabric tensor.
Using two-dimensional discrete element method (DEM) simulations, we discover a simple and strong linear correlation between contact normal- and void vector-based fabric tensors for granular materials composed of non-elongated particles.
Describing Green's lyrics, which sound like the stuff of conventional love songs on first listen, Reynolds is overwrought: "On closer inspection, though, they turned out to be pretzels of contradiction, with an aporia (the poststructuralist term for voids in the fabric of meaning) lurking in the center of every twist of language, sweet nothings that could wreck your heart".
Fabric non-uniformities can be described by the geometric parameters Rp/a0, which refers to the average ratio of in-plane dimension of fibre tows Rp and fibre tow spacing a0 and characterises the fibre-void distribution in the fabric, and the standard deviation of the inter-fibre-angle σα.
It visibly defines one corner of the north pool of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and, therefore, one corner of the outline of 1 World Trade Center — a void left in the city fabric after the attack of Sept. 11, 2001.
It is shown in particular that a sand pile formed in water is more homogeneous in terms of void ratio, contact force and fabric anisotropy.
How did we go from the cosmos of the Divine Comedy, with its endless layers of Heaven and Hell, to the infinite void of Newtonian physics, then the dynamic fabric of general relativity?
The compression moulding process was optimized to obtain optimal fabric impregnation and to keep the void content lower than 1%.
It presents the macroscopic shear stress distribution, void ratio, effective co-ordination number, and the fabric distribution of the assemblies during mechanical loading.
Morphological analysis showed that the fracture surface was homogeneous for samples of neat nylon 6 and treated fabrics, and voids were observed for samples from untreated fabrics.
