Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of
intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has …

Computer Simulations belong to the most important methods for the theoretical investigation
of granular materials. The present book is intended to serve as an introduction to the field …

With the assumption of a linear–dashpot interaction force, the coefficient of restitution,\
varepsilon_d^ 0 (k, γ), can be computed as a function of the elastic and dissipative material …

A shallow, vertically shaken granular bed in a quasi-two-dimensional container is explored
experimentally yielding a wider variety of phenomena than in any previous study:(1) …

Granular material is vertically vibrated in a 2D container: above a critical shaking strength,
and for a sufficient number of beads, a crystalline cluster is elevated and supported by a …

Dissipated power and motion state of granular balls in a quasi-2D closed container
subjected to vertical fixed-frequency excitation are investigated by comparing discrete …

To explore the optimal damping mechanism of non-obstructive particle dampers (NOPDs),
research on the relationship between the damping performance of NOPDs and the motion …

Strongly vertically shaken granular matter can display a density inversion: A high-density
cluster of beads is elevated by a dilute gaslike layer of fast beads underneath (“granular …

This research delves into the transfer and loss of energy in a discrete mass when subjected
to forced vibration. Using discrete element method (DEM), we analyzed the dynamic …

Damping behaviors of granular particles in a quasi-two-dimensional (Q-2D) closed
container subjected to vertical vibration are simulated by means of Discrete Element Method …
