Self-assembly is one of the most important concepts of the 21st century. Strikingly, despite
the rational design of molecules for biological and pharmaceutical applications is rather well …

This review presents an overview of recent work in the field of non-Brownian particle self-
assembly. Compared to nanoparticles that naturally self-assemble due to Brownian motion …

Packing densification of cubical particles under mechanical vibrations was dynamically
simulated by using discrete element method (DEM). Effects of operating parameters such as …

It is shown that by properly controlling vibrational and charging conditions, the transition
from disordered to ordered, densest packing of particles can be obtained consistently. The …

The effect of particle cohesion, vibration parameters, and wall-particle friction conditions on
the mixing process of binary spherical particles in a vertical vibrating container were studied …

Abstract Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations are carried out to investigate the
packing structure of the vibrated mono-sized and polydisperse particle assemblies in …

Discrete particle simulations provide a powerful tool for the advancement of our
understanding of granular media, and the development and refinement of the multitudinous …

Granular crystallisation is an important phenomenon whereby ordered packing structures
form in granular matter under vibration. However, compared with the well-developed …

As granular particles in a packing are athermal, their self-assembly has to be realized with
the input of energy via walls. But different manners of energy input, eg, through tap** or …

The self-assembly of uniform granular spheres is related to the fundamentals of granular
matter such as the transitions of phases, order/disorder and jamming states. This paper …
