Simulations support protocol independency of the granular temperature
Volker Becker, Klaus Kassner
A possible approach to the statistical description of granular assemblies starts from Edwards' assumption that all blocked states occupying the same volume are equally probable (S.…
A tangential force model for interactions between bonded colloidal particles
Volker Becker, Heiko Briesen
Recently, Pantina and Furst (Phys. Rev. Lett., 94(13), 138301, 2005) experimentally demon- strated that there are tangential forces between bonded colloidal particles and that bond…
Coefficient of tangential restitution for the linear dashpot model
Volker Becker, Thomas Schwager, Thorsten Poeschel
The linear dashpot model for the inelastic normal force between colliding spheres leads to a constant coefficient of normal restitution, const., which makes this model very p…
Hourglass of constant weight
Volker Becker, Thorsten Poeschel
In contrast to a still common belief, a steadily flowing hourglass changes its weight in the course of time. We will show that, nevertheless, it is possible to construct hourglasse…
