Abstract
We consider two (2D) and three (3D) dimensional granular systems exposed to compression, and ask what is the influence of the number of physical dimensions on the properties of the interaction networks that spontaneously form as these systems evolve. The study is carried out based on discrete element simulations of frictional disks in 2D and spheres in 3D. Within the constraints of the considered simulation protocols, the main finding is that both the number of physical dimensions and the type of particle-particle interaction significantly influence the properties of interaction networks. These networks play an important role in bridging the microscale (particle size) and macroscale (system size), thus both aspects (the interaction model and dimensionality) are carefully considered. Our work uses a combination of tools and techniques, including percolation study, statistical analysis, as well as algebraic topology-based techniques. In many instances, different techniques and measures provide complementary information that, when combined, allow for gaining better insight into the properties of interaction networks in compressed particulate systems.
期刊介绍:
Although many phenomena observed in granular materials are still not yet fully understood, important contributions have been made to further our understanding using modern tools from statistical mechanics, micro-mechanics, and computational science.
These modern tools apply to disordered systems, phase transitions, instabilities or intermittent behavior and the performance of discrete particle simulations.
>> Until now, however, many of these results were only to be found scattered throughout the literature. Physicists are often unaware of the theories and results published by engineers or other fields - and vice versa.
The journal Granular Matter thus serves as an interdisciplinary platform of communication among researchers of various disciplines who are involved in the basic research on granular media. It helps to establish a common language and gather articles under one single roof that up to now have been spread over many journals in a variety of fields. Notwithstanding, highly applied or technical work is beyond the scope of this journal.
