Particle dampers are passive devices allowing strong dam** of structures vibrating in
harsh environment. We investigate the energy dissipation in a rigid enclosure attached to a …

By means of particle-based numerical simulations using the discrete element method, we
address the question of how the performance of granular dampers is affected by the shape …

When a container filled with granular material is subjected to sinusoidal vibration in
microgravity, dependent on the amplitude of the oscillation, the granulate may exhibit one of …

Additively manufactured particle dampers (AMPDs) are innovative particle dampers created
by intentionally preserving unfused powder within a structure during laser powder bed …

Granular dampers are systems used to attenuate undesired vibrations produced by
mechanical devices. They consist of cavities filled by granular particles. In this work, we …

A multilevel design toolchain is used for the development of particle dampers for vertical
transient vibrating structures. Thereby various experimental tests and numerical models are …

The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel structural dam** approach to reduce the
sound pressure at a target point inside an enclosed cavity. In this approach, particle …

The prediction of flow profiles of slowly sheared granular materials is a major geophysical
and industrial challenge. Understanding the role of gravity is particularly important for future …

When a container filled with granular material is subjected to vertical vibration in the
presence of gravity, under certain conditions a non-monotonous density profile can be …

By means of experiments in microgravity conditions, we show that granular systems
subjected to sinusoidal vibrations respond either by harmonic or gaslike dynamics …
