Why shape matters in granular compaction
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a stochastic model of dynamically interacting grains in one dimension, in the presence of a low vibrational intensity, to investigate the effect of shape on the statics and dynamics of the compaction process. Regularity and irregularity in grain shapes are shown to be centrally important in determining the statics of close-packing states, as well as the nature of zeroand low-temperature dynamics in this columnar model.

Influence of Compaction Condition on the Microstructure of a Non-Plastic Glacial Till
The influence of compaction water content on the structure has been well known forclayey soils, but has never been studied for granular materials. In this paper the structure of a nonplastictill and the effect of compaction moisture is investigated by means of water retention curvestudy, scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry tests. The results show thatwhen compacted on...
متن کاملA void-based description of compaction and segregation in flowing granular materials
Guided by the kinematical treatment of vacancies in theories for solid-state diffusion, we develop a theory for compaction and segregation in flowing granular materials. This theory leads to a partial differential equation for the macroscopic motion of the material coupled to a system of partial differential equations for the volume fractions of the individual particle types. When segregation i...
متن کاملOn random graphs and the statistical mechanics of granular matter
– The dynamics of spins on a random graph with ferromagnetic three-spin interactions is used to model the compaction of granular matter under a series of taps. Taps are modelled as the random flipping of a small fraction of the spins followed by a quench at zero temperature. We find that the density approached during a logarithmically slow compaction the random-close-packing density corresponds...
متن کاملGranular Matter
This is an introductory course into some aspects of the physics of granular materials. Three theoretical questions are looked into more detail corresponding to the three hours of the course: I present some statistical models to describe the shape of a heap under impact and present a way to calculate the angle of repose from the first principle. The second part contains the theoretical framework...
متن کاملNumerical Modelling of Dynamic Compaction in Dry Sandy Soils for Determination of Effective Print Spacing
Dynamic compaction (DC) is a widely used soil improvement method in dry and/or saturated soils. The design of DC treatment is usually carried out based on the past experiences and empirical relations. In order to clarify the ambiguities in DC processes, numerical modeling of DC in dry granular soils has been considered using a dynamic finite element code. Using the developed model, two design c...
