Energy avalanches in a rice-pile model
Luis A. Nunes Amaral, Kent B. Lauritsen
We investigate a one-dimensional rice-pile model. We show that the distribution of dissipated potential energy decays as a power law with an exponent . The system thus prov…

Self-organized criticality in a rice-pile model
Luis A. Nunes Amaral, Kent B. Lauritsen
We present a new model for relaxations in piles of granular material. The relaxations are determined by a stochastic rule which models the effect of friction between the grains. We…
