Arching in tapped deposits of hard disks.

چکیده
We simulate the tapping of a bed of hard disks in a rectangular box by using a pseudodynamic algorithm. In these simulations, arches are unambiguously defined and we can analyze their properties as a function of the tapping amplitude. We find that an order-disorder transition occurs within a narrow range of tapping amplitudes as has been seen by others. Arches are always present in the system although they exhibit regular shapes in the ordered regime. Interestingly, an increase in the number of arches does not always correspond to a reduction in the packing fraction. This is in contrast with what is found in three-dimensional systems.

We present results from simulations of regular pentagons arranged in a rectangular die. The particles are subjected to vertical tapping. We study the behavior of the packing fraction, number of contacts and arch distributions as a function of the tapping amplitude. Pentagons show peculiar features as compared with disks. As a general rule, pentagons tend to form less arches than disks. Neverthe...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation into the Arching Effect in Fine Sand
In the current paper results of a well instrumented experimental procedure for studying the arching effect in loose and dense sand are presented. The apparatus comprises concentric circular trapdoors with different diameters that can yield downward while stresses and deformations are recorded simultaneously. As the trapdoor starts to yield, the whole soil mass deforms elastically. However, afte...
متن کاملThe arching of the palate in twin foetuses.
The aim of the study is to examine the process of change with age of hard and total palate arching. Differences were compared in the arching of the hard and total palate in pairs of twins of the same sex and in pairs of twins of opposite sexes aged between 4 and 7 months of foetal life. On the basis of the results obtained it may be stated that: 1. There is some delay in the process of developm...
متن کاملRole of Mineralogy and Geochemistry in the Beneficiation of Jajarm Bauxite from North East Iran: Comparison with some other Bauxite Deposits of the World
Two types of bauxite occur in the Jajarm Bauxite deposit, the first one is the hard bauxite and the other is the shaly bauxite or soft bauxite. The Al 2 O 3 content ranges from 30% to 60% and SiO 2 varies between 5% to 39%.The total tonnage is more than 22 million tons with a mean value of Al 2 O 3 content between 47% to 48% , SiO 2 around 10% and Fe 2 O 3 ranges between 6.95 to 27% . The Jajar...
متن کاملAn Improvement in WRP Block Replacement Policy with Reviewing and Solving its Problems
One of the most important items for better file system performance is efficient buffering of disk blocks in main memory. Efficient buffering helps to reduce the widespeed gap between main memory and hard disks. In this buffering system, the block replacement policy is one of the most important design decisions that determines which disk block should be replaced when the buffer is full. To o...
