The key control parameter of the model, $\\epsilon$, is a representation of granular shape, related to the reduced void space. Regularity and irregularity in grain shapes, respectively corresponding to rational and irrational values of $\\epsilon$, are shown to be centrally important in determining the statics and dynamics of the compaction process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-08-28T08:26:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "compaction process", "jamming limit", "glassy dynamics", "low vibrational intensity", "grain shapes" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
