Fluctuations and yield stress in sheared granular media — •Seyyede Robabeh Moosavi1,2, Jeliazko Jeliazkov3, Michael LeBlanc3, Karin Dahmen3, and Matthias Schröter11Max-Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany — 2Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, Zanjan, Iran — 3University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Illinois, USA

Slowly sheared granular materials show micro-yielding events before a global fracture. These events develop via slip avalanches with a broad range of sizes. We present experiments on the distribution of avalanche sizes in granular media of different packing fractions. We discussed our results in the context of a recently proposed theoretical model of power law for these statistics [1].
