ABSTRACT

Granular materials are complex multi-particle ensembles in which macroscopic properties are largely determined by inter-particle interactions between their numerous constituents. In order to understand and to predict their macroscopic physical behavior, it is necessary to analyze the composition and interactions at the level of individual contacts and grains. To do so requires the ability to image individual particles and their local configurations to high precision. A variety of competing and complementary imaging techniques have been developed for that task. In this introductory paper accompanying the Focus Issue, we provide an overview of these imaging methods and discuss their advantages and drawbacks, as well as their limits of application.
