    Sánchez, Martín; Carlevaro, Manuel; Pugnaloni, Luis (SAGE Publications, 2014)
    A particle damper (PD) is a device that can attenuate mechanical vibrations thanks to the dissipative collisions between grains contained in a cavity attached to the vibrating structure. It has been recently suggested that, ...

    We implement the Wang-Landau algorithm to sample with equal probabilities the static configurations of a model granular system. The "non-interacting rigid arch model" used is based on the description of static configurations ...
  • Exact predictions from Edwards ensemble vs realistic simulations of tapped narrow two dimensional granular columns 

    Irastorza, Ramiro; Carlevaro, Manuel; Pugnaloni, Luis (Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2013)
    We simulate, via a discrete element method, the tapping of a narrow column of disks under gravity. For frictionless disks, this system has a simple analytical expression for the density of states in the Edwards volume ...
  • Effect of grain shape on the jamming of two dimensional silos 

    Goldberg, Ezequiel; Carlevaro, Manuel; Pugnaloni, Luis (EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017)
    We present discrete element method simulations of the discharge of silos in two dimensions. We study the effect of the grain shape on the clogging of small apertures, considering regular polygons and disks of equal mass. ...
  • Flow rate of polygonal grains through a bottleneck Interplay between shape and size 

    Goldberg, Ezequiel; Carlevaro, Manuel; Pugnaloni, Luis (Papers in Physics, 2015)
    We report two-dimensional simulations of circular and polygonal grains passing through an aperture at the bottom of a silo. The mass flow rate for regular polygons is lower than for disks\red{,} as observed by other authors. ...
  • Relevance of system size to the steady state properties of tapped granular systems 

    Gago, Paula; Maza, Diego; Pugnaloni, Luis (American Physical Society, 2015)
    We investigate the steady-state packing fraction ϕ and force moment tensor Σ of quasi-two-dimensional granular columns subjected to tapping. Systems of different height h and width L are considered. We find that ϕ and Σ, ...
  • Ergodic nonergodic transition in tapped granular systems; The role of persistent contacts 

    Gago, Paula; Maza, Diego; Pugnaloni, Luis (Papers in Physics, 2016)
    Static granular packs have been studied in the last three decades in the frame of a modi ed equilibrium statistical mechanics that assumes ergodicity as a basic postulate. The canonical example on which this framework is ...
  • First order phase transition during displacement of amphiphilic biomacromolecules from interfaces by surfactant molecules 

    Ettelaie, Rammile; Dickinson, Eric; Pugnaloni, Luis (Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2014)
    The adsorption of surfactants onto a hydrophobic interface, already laden with a fixed number of polymers, is studied using the self consistent field (SCF) calculation method of Scheutjens and Fleer. For polymers having ...
  • Tapped granular packings described as complex networks 

    Arévalo, Roberto; Pugnaloni, Luis; Maza, Diego; Zuriguel, Iker (Taylor and Francis, 2013)
    We characterize the structure of simulated two-dimensional granular packings using con- cepts from complex networks theory. The packings are generated by a simulated tapping protocol, which allows us to obtain states in ...
  • Dynamic transition in conveyor belt driven granular flow 

    Cordero, José; Pugnaloni, Luis (Elsevier, 2015)
    We consider the flow of disks of diameter d driven by a conveyor belt of dynamic friction coefficient μ through an aperture on a flat barrier. The flow rate presents two distinct regimes. At low belt velocities v the flow ...
