Abstract
Discrete element simulations are carried out to investigate the dissipation behavior of granular balls in a quasi-2D closed granular container subjected to vertical vibration. In the Density Inversion (DI) region of granular phase diagram, an unknown granular motion pattern that has never been reported before occurs scatteredly, where a dense hexagonal close-packed granular cluster is supported by arch-like undulating granular layers underneath. We call this phenomenon the granular Wave-solid State (WS). The occasionality of WS occurring in the DI region is further revealed by re-simulating 100 times on the original seven groups of excitation parameters. Similarities and differences in the dissipation behavior between WS and DI obtained by the same excitation parameters are analyzed by comparing the motion pattern of granular bed, the packing structure of dense granular cluster and the density profile, velocity profile and loss profile of vibrated granular balls. Moreover, the initial packing structures of WS and DI obtained by the same excitation parameters are compared, which indicates that the dissipation behavior of vibrated granular balls is related to their initial packing structure.
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.
