Patterns and collective behavior in granular media: Theoretical concepts
Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has attracted significant attention from physicists. Yet despite major efforts by many groups, the theoretical description of granular systems remains largely a plethora of different, often contradictory concepts and appr...
متن کاملDensity Patterns in Granular Media
Recent experiments by Baxter et al. showed the existence of density waves in granular material flowing out of a hopper. We show, using Molecular Dynamics Simulations, that this effect is a consequence of static friction and find that these density fluctuations follow a 1/f spectrum. The effect is enhanced when the opening angle of the hopper decreases.
متن کاملConvection and Diffusion in Patterns in Oscillated Granular Media
Motions of individual particles within the stripe and square patterns formed in oscillated granular media are studied using numerical simulations. Our eventdriven molecular dynamics simulations yield standing wave patterns in good accord with those observed in experiments at the same frequency and acceleration amplitude. The patterns are subharmonic and so return to their initial macroscopic st...
متن کاملDynamic self-assembly and patterns in electrostatically driven granular media.
We show that granular media, consisting of metallic microparticles immersed in a poorly conducting liquid in a strong dc electric field, self-assemble into a rich variety of novel phases. These phases include static precipitates: honeycombs and Wigner crystals; and novel dynamic condensates: toroidal vortices and pulsating rings. The observed structures are explained by the interplay between ch...
متن کاملMultiscale framework for behavior prediction in granular media
In this work, a predictive multiscale framework for modeling the behavior of granular materials is presented. The method is particularly attractive due to its simplicity and ability to exploit the existing finite element and computational inelasticity technologies. Furthermore, this semi-concurrent multiscale method extracts two key material parameters from the granular structure: dilatancy and...
