Complex Memory Formation in Frictional Granular Media
arXiv:2304.12981 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.268202
Abstract
Using numerical simulations it is shown that a jammed, random pack of soft frictional grains can store an arbitrary waveform that is applied as a small time-dependent shear while the system is slowly compressed. When the system is decompressed at a later time, an approximation of the input waveform is recalled in time-reversed order as shear stresses on the system boundaries. This effect depends on friction between the grains, and is independent of some aspects of the friction model. This type of memory could potentially be observable in other types of random media that form internal contacts when compressed.
