Effect of grain shape on the jamming of two dimensional silos
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
On and off dynamics of a creeping frictional system
(Springer, 2014)We report on the dynamics of a model frictional system submitted to minute external perturbations. The system consists of a chain of sliders connected through elastic springs that rest on an incline. By introducing cyclic ... -
Contact network topology in tapped granular media
(American Physical Society, 2013)We analyze the contact network of simulated two-dimensional granular packings in different states of mechanical equilibrium obtained by tapping. We show that topological descriptors of the contact network allow one to ...
