Water significantly influences the mechanical behaviour of all granular materials but none as much hygroscopic amorphous particles. With sufficiently high water content, particles can swell, agglomerate and their properties be reduced, having direct effects on macroscopic response material. In food pharmaceutical industry this cause loss product functionality. Despite relevance, very little is known about microscopic processes that induce these phenomena. Previous studies focused single...

Abstract The effects of water on the behaviour granular materials can be significant. Besides capillary bridges, several other chemo-hydro-mechanical processes affect response hydro-sensitive assemblies, when sorption critically alters individual particles properties (i.e., swelling, deterioration mechanical properties). It is very common to find such in food and pharmaceutical industries, where often lead important resources waste while processing or storing product. therefore necessary...

The mechanical behaviour of hygroscopic granular materials is highly influenced by water. strong dependence individual particle properties on moisture content affects the response their packings, which can agglomerate and eventually lead to loss product functionality. Despite frequent occurrence this problem in industry, only few studies tried explore underlying phenomena investigate fundamental connection between packing behaviour. This work presents an experimental study that aims link...

The response of granular materials is significantly affected by the stiffness particles that constitute them. This can evolve and exhibit strong inter-granular strain. While generally overlooked in literature, these features emerge numerous soften swell. case for clays, root systems, polymer-based particles. study investigates macroscopic effects concurrent particle swelling softening, based on previous experimental results hygroscopic assemblies [Vego et al., 2022; Vego 2023a; 2023b]....

Several granular materials are hydro-sensitive, i.e. , contact with water severely affects their morphology and mechanical behaviour. To this broad class belong a series of great relevance for the pharmaceutical food industry. Former studies have been conducted on effect that moisture or humidity flow individual grain response, but processes occurring at microlevel influence overall packing behaviour is yet to be fully understood. This study presents an experimental investigation response...
