Abstract

We measure shear response in packings of glass beads by pulling a thin, rough, metal plate vertically through a bed of volume fraction , which is set, before the plate is pulled, in the range from 0.575 to 0.628. The yield stress is velocity independent over 4 decades and increases exponentially with , with a transition at ≈0.595. An analysis of the measured force fluctuations indicates that the shear modulus is significantly smaller than the bulk modulus. © 2011 Europhysics Letters Association.
