Mario Nicodemi, Antonio Coniglio, Hans J. Herrmann
TL;DR
This paper presents a lattice model incorporating frustration to simulate granular media compaction, demonstrating Monte Carlo results that align with experimental observations of relaxation under vibrations and gravity.
Contribution
Introduces a novel lattice model with frustration to describe granular media compaction, validated by Monte Carlo simulations matching experimental data.
Findings
Monte Carlo results agree with experimental data
Model captures effects of vibrations and gravity on compaction
Frustration is crucial in the model's relaxation properties
Abstract
We introduce a lattice model, in which frustration plays a crucial role, to describe relaxation properties of granular media. We show Monte Carlo results for compaction in the presence of vibrations and gravity, which compare well with experimental data.
