Structural aging of a cohesive and amorphous granular solid under cyclic loading

Puntos clave

• This research aims to explore how cyclic loading influences the structure and deformation behaviors of granular rafts.
• Investigated the structure of granular rafts composed of air-oil interface particles.
• Applied cyclic loading to assess changes in deformation behaviors.
• Analyzed the disorder in particle packing during the loading process.
• Observed significant structural changes in the granular raft with cyclic loading.
• Noted alterations in deformation behaviors related to particle interactions.
• Found that disordered packing affects overall raft stability.
