The resistance of granular bead packs is explored when being sheared with a parabolic profile at constant shear volume. The dissipated energy can be determined from the measured differential pressure and increases about linearly with confining pressure for both dry and wet bead packs. However, the dissipated energy for wet beads has a finite value for vanishing external pressure and increases slower with external pressure compared to dry beads.
Using a downsized version of the shear cell the reorganization of beads and liquid is imaged using ultrafast x-ray micro-tomography. The movement of each bead can be tracked during the shear process. The relative movement of the beads causes the breakup of liquid capillary bridges. The contribution of the breaking capillary bridges to the dissipated energy can be quantified by directly detecting individual rupture events.
