Energy non-equipartition in systems of inelastic, rough spheres
S. McNamara, S. Luding
We calculate and verify with simulations the ratio between the average translational and rotational energies of systems with rough, inelastic particles, either forced or freely coo…

Energy flows in vibrated granular media
S. McNamara, S. Luding
We study vibrated granular media, investigating each of the three components of the energy flow: particle-particle dissipation, energy input at the vibrating wall, and particle-wal…

Homogeneous cooling of rough, dissipative particles: Theory and simulations
S. Luding, M. Huthmann, S. McNamara +1
We investigate freely cooling systems of rough spheres in two and three dimensions. Simulations using an event driven algorithm are compared with results of an approximate kinetic…
