Random close packing in a granular model
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Random 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 کاملCreep and fluidity of a real granular packing near jamming.
We study the internal dynamical processes taking place in a granular packing below yield stress. At all packing fractions and down to vanishingly low applied shear, a logarithmic creep is observed. The experiments are analyzed using a viscoelastic model which introduces an internal, time-dependent, fluidity variable. For all experiments, the creep dynamics can be rescaled onto a unique curve wh...
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 کاملRandom 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 کاملStructural transitions in granular packs: statistical mechanics and statistical geometry investigations
We investigate equal spheres packings generated from several experiments and from a large number of different numerical simulations. The structural organization of these disordered packings is studied in terms of the network of common neighbours. This geometrical analysis reveals sharp changes in the network’s clustering occurring at the packing fractions (fraction of volume occupied by the sph...
