Simulation of Inhomogeneous Columns of Beads under Vertical Vibration

We present results from computational experiments of one-dimensional inhomogeneous granular column. With characteristic properties lying between those of liquids and solids, this class of material consists of assemblies of solid particles which interact via mechanical forces (contact and friction) a...
