Granular dampers in microgravity: sharp transition between modes of operation
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract When a container filled with granular material is subjected to sinusoidal vibration in microgravity, dependent on the amplitude of the oscillation, the granulate may exhibit one of two distinct dynamical modes: at low amplitude, a gas-like state is observed, where the particles are relatively homogeneously distributed within the container, almost independent of the phase of the oscillation. In contrast, for large amplitude, collective motion of the particles is favoured, termed collect-and-collide regime. Both regimes are characterized by very different dissipation characteristics. A recent model predicts that the regimes are separated by a sharp transition due to a critical amplitude of the vibration. Here we confirm this prediction of a sharp transition and also the numerical value of the critical amplitude by means of experiments performed under conditions of weightlessness.
