Breakdown of the Sonine expansion for the velocity distribution of Granular Gases
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
The velocity distribution of a granular gas is analyzed in terms of the Sonine polynomials expansion. We derive an analytical expression for the third Sonine coefficient a_3. In co…
Rolling friction and bistability of rolling motion
Thorsten Poeschel, Thomas Schwager, Nikolai Brilliantov +1
The rolling motion of a rigid cylinder on an inclined flat viscous surface is investigated and the nonlinear resistance force against rolling, , is derived. For small veloc…
Adhesive interactions of viscoelastic spheres
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
We develop an analytical theory of adhesive interaction of viscoelastic spheres in quasistatic approximation. Deformations and deformation rates are assumed to be small, which allo…
Collision of Adhesive Viscoelastic Particles
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
The collision of convex bodies is considered for small impact velocity, when plastic deformation and fragmentation may be disregarded. In this regime the contact is governed by for…
