Abstract

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 consider a granular damper filled with a binary mixture of frictionless spherical particles of the same material but different size using numerical discrete element method simulations. We show that the damping efficiency is largely influenced by the composition of the binary mixture.
