Compaction dynamics of a granular medium under verti - cal tapping
– We report new experimental results on granular compaction under consecutive vertical taps. The evolution of the mean volume fraction and of the mean potential energy of a granular packing presents a slow densification until a final steady-state, and is reminiscent to usual relaxation in glasses via a stretched exponential law. The intensity of the taps seems to rule the characteristic time of...
متن کاملFermi Statistics of Weakly Excited Granular
In this paper, we brieey review our recent eeort to develop a thermodynamic theory of weakly excited granular materials from the view point of elementary excitation of Fermions. Within the framework of the lattice gas model, particles and holes interact only by excluded volume interactions. We introduce a global temperature T that is associated with the acceleration amplitude ? in vibrating bed...
متن کاملSlow relaxation and compaction of granular systems.
Granular materials are of substantial importance in many industrial and natural processes, yet their complex behaviours, ranging from mechanical properties of static packing to their dynamics, rheology and instabilities, are still poorly understood. Here we focus on the dynamics of compaction and its 'jamming' phenomena, outlining recent statistical mechanics approaches to describe it and their...
متن کاملMemory effects in the relaxation of Ising models
– It is analytically shown that the one-dimensional Ising model with Glauber dynamics exhibits short time memory effects when submitted to an abrupt change in the temperature. These effects are qualitatively similar to those experimentally observed in the compaction of vibrated granular materials. Moreover, a critical time separating regimes of “normal” and “anomalous” responses to the perturba...
متن کاملGranular dynamics in compaction and stress relaxation.
Elastic and dissipative properties of granular assemblies under uniaxial compression are studied both experimentally and by numerical simulations. Following a novel compaction procedure at varying oscillatory pressures, the stress response to a step strain reveals an exponential relaxation followed by a slow logarithmic decay. Simulations indicate that the latter arises from the coupling betwee...
متن کاملAging dynamics and density relaxation in kinetic lattice gases under gravity
– We present an analytical approach to the out of equilibrium dynamics of a class of kinetic lattice gases under gravity. The location of the jamming transition, the critical exponents, and the scaling functions characterizing the relaxation processes are determined. In particular, we find that logarithmic compaction and simple aging are intimately related to the Vogel-Fulcher law, while power-...
