Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph. The first edition [202] was
published in 1996 in the Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences series (vol. 220) …

Granular particles exhibit rich collective behaviors on vibration beds, but the motion of an
isolated particle is not well understood even for uniform particles with a simple shape such …

Constraints work in the simplest way among a variety of methods of modeling the
mechanical behaviors on the interface between bodies. The constraints within a persistent …

The mechanical excitation of solid bodies by a vibrating plate is not only an interesting
fundamental problem, but also has relevance in many mechanical systems, for example, in …

The energy transfer between bouncing particles and rigid boundaries during impacts is
crucially influenced not only by restitution coefficients of the material but also by particle …

The motion of a single granular particle is important for understanding their collective
motions on vibration stage, but it remains poorly studied for simple shaped particles, such as …

Shape-anisotropic particles on vibrating plates exert diverse behaviors of interest. But there
is very limited work that devoted to the effect of particle shape, let along the dynamic reasons …

The drift motion of an asymmetric dimer bouncing on a harmonically vibrating plate is
addressed in this paper. The direction of this motion is determined by the behavior of the …

Steady dissipation of energy is a crucial property that distinguishes active particles from
Brownian particles. However, it is not straightforward to explicitly model the dissipative …

Granular particles exhibit rich collective behaviors on a vibration stage, but the motion of an
isolated particle is not well understood even for a simple uniform particles such a disk or …
