Random Loose Packing in Granular Matter
We introduce and simulate a two-dimensional Edwards-style model of granular matter at vanishing pressure. The model incorporates some of the effects of gravity and friction, and exhibits a random loose packing density whose standard deviation vanishes with increasing system size, a phenomenon that should be verifiable for real granular matter.
متن کاملRandom Close Packing of Granular Matter
We propose an interpretation of the random close packing of granular materials as a phase transition, and discuss the possibility of experimental verification.
متن کاملDefining random loose packing for nonspherical grains.
The concept of "random loose packing" (RLP) has evolved through extensive study of loose packings of spheres, which has resulted in an accepted definition as the loosest packing that can be obtained by pouring grains. We extend this consideration to packings of nonspherical grains (ellipsoids) formed by slow settling in a viscous liquid, and perform a detailed analysis of the structural propert...
متن کاملRandom close packing in a granular model
We introduce a 2-dimensional lattice model of granular matter. We use a combination of proof and simulation to demonstrate an order/disorder phase transition in the model, to which we associate the granular phenomenon of random close packing.
متن کاملJamming of frictional spheres and random loose packing†
The role of the friction coefficient, m, on the jamming properties of disordered, particle packings is studied using computer simulations. Compressed, soft-sphere packings are brought towards the jamming transition—the point where a packing loses mechanical stability—by decreasing the packing fraction. The values of the packing fraction at the jamming transition, fmc, gradually decrease from th...
