Internal avalanches in models of granular media
S. Krishnamurthy, H. J. Herrmann, V. Loreto +2
We study the phenomenon of internal avalanching within the context of recently introduced lattice models of granular media. The avalanche is produced by pulling out a grain at the…
Self-Structuring of Granular Media under Internal Avalanches
S. Krishnamurthy, V. Loreto, H. J. Herrmann +2
We study the phenomenon of internal avalanching within the context of recently proposed ``Tetris'' lattice models for granular media. We define a recycling dynamics under which the…
Transition from damage to fragmentation in collision of solids
Ferenc Kun, Hans J. Herrmann
We investigate fracture and fragmentation of solids due to impact at low energies using a two-dimensional dynamical model of granular solids. Simulating collisions of two solid dis…
Shock propagation in a granular chain
E. Hascoet, V. Loreto, H. J. Herrmann
We numerically solve the propagation of a shock wave in a chain of elastic beads with no restoring forces under traction (no-tension elasticity). We find a sequence of peaks of dec…
Broad Histogram Method for Continuous Systems: the XY-Model
Jose D. Munoz, Hans J. Herrmann
We propose a way of implementing the Broad Histogram Monte Carlo method to systems with continuous degrees of freedom, and we apply these ideas to investigate the three-dimensional…
Microscopic Model for Granular Stratification and Segregation
Hernan A. Makse, Hans J. Herrmann
We study segregation and stratification of mixtures of grains differing in size, shape and material properties poured in two-dimensional silos using a microscopic lattice model for…
