Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of dense granular media
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Antonio Coniglio, Mario Nicodemi
By detailed Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations %of a realistic model we show that granular materials at rest can be described as thermodynamics systems. First we show t…
Size segregation in granular media induced by phase transition
M. Tarzia, A. Fierro, M. Nicodemi +2
In order to study analytically the nature of the size segregation in granular mixtures, we introduce a mean field theory in the framework of a statistical mechanics approach, based…
Glass glass transition and new dynamical singularity points in an analytically solvable p-spin glass like model
Antonio Caiazzo, Antonio Coniglio, Mario Nicodemi
We introduce and analytically study a generalized p-spin glass like model that captures some of the main features of attractive glasses, recently found by Mode Coupling investigati…
Segregation in fluidized versus tapped packs
Marco Tarzia, Annalisa Fierro, Mario Nicodemi +1
We compare the predictions of two different statistical mechanics approaches, corresponding to different physical measurements, proposed to describe binary granular mixtures subjec…
Statistical Mechanics of segregation in binary granular mixtures
M. Tarzia, A. Fierro, M. Nicodemi +2
We discuss mixing/segregation phenomena in a schematic hard spheres lattice model for binary mixtures of granular media, by analytical evaluation, within Bethe-Peierls approximatio…
Statistical Mechanics of jamming and segregation in granular media
M. Nicodemi, A. Coniglio, A. de Candia +3
In the framework of schematic hard spheres lattice models we discuss Edwards' Statistical Mechanics approach to granular media. As this approach appears to hold here to a very good…
