Mean Field theory for a driven granular gas of frictional particles
Raffaele Cafiero, Stefan Luding
We propose a mean field (MF) theory for a homogeneously driven granular gas of inelastic particles with Coulomb friction. The model contains three parameters, a normal restitution…
Two-dimensional Granular Gas of Inelastic Spheres with Multiplicative Driving
Raffaele Cafiero, Stefan Luding, Hans Jürgen Herrmann
We study a two-dimensional granular gas of inelastic spheres subject to multiplicative driving proportional to a power of the local particle velocity .…
Macroscopic material properties from quasi-static, microscopic simulations of a two-dimensional shear-cell
Marc Lätzel, Stefan Luding, Hans J. Herrmann
One of the essential questions in the area of granular matter is, how to obtain macroscopic tensorial quantities like stress and strain from ``microscopic'' quantities like the con…
A minimal model for slow dynamics: Compaction of granular media under vibration or shear
Stefan Luding, Maxime Nicolas, Olivier Pouliquen
Based on experiments of the compaction of granular materials under periodic shear of a packing of glass beads, a minimal model for the dynamics of the packing density as a function…
