Abstract
The influence of the raised-bottom on the dissipation behavior of three-dimensional (3D) oscillating closed granular system is studied by discrete element simulation in this work. Firstly, the damping effect and motion phase states of granular balls in a flat-bottom closed container are investigated in the interested range of excitation parameters, which reveals two different high damping granular dissipation behaviors. Then, the damping characteristics of the same quantity of granular balls in flat, concave and raised bottom containers are compared, which indicates that the granular system with a 2 mm raised-bottom exhibits relatively better damping effect. Moreover, the difference between flat-bottom and 2 mm raised-bottom granular system in the dissipation behavior of optimal damping granules is further analyzed. Finally, the essence of enhanced damping effect of the 3D granular system by the 2 mm raised-bottom is revealed, i.e., the fact that the change of injection mode of vibration energy into granular system caused by the raised-bottom makes it easier for ideal dense granular cluster to appear in the oscillating granular bed.
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.
