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 …

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) …

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 dam** mechanism of non-obstructive particle dampers (NOPDs),
research on the relationship between the dam** performance of NOPDs and the motion …

This paper evaluates simple but general links between the operating dynamic motional
phases and the non-linear energy dissipation characteristics of granular dampers. The …

We present results concerning the important role of system packing in the processes of
density-and inelasticity-induced segregation in vibrofluidized binary granular beds. Data are …

Nanoscale evaporation of liquids plays a key role in several applications including cooling,
drag reduction and liquid transport. This research investigates the Leidenfrost effect at the …

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 paper proposes a discrete element method (DEM) model to simulate the convection
phenomenon of non-spherical particles in a vibrating bed. The corresponding physical …

Segregation in Vibrated Granular Systems explains the individual mechanisms that
influence the segregation of granular media under vibration, along with their interactions …
