During the deposition process, many factors play a role in the dynamics of the system including materials' characteristics and media onto which the materials dropped. The stick-slip model has been applied to simulate the depositions of polydisperse granular materials. As the size of the materials varied, and hence the criteria for colliding materials, the dynamics and the structures of the resulting systems could be different. The research aims are to investigate the dynamics of the deposition of polydisperse materials and the structures of the resulting piles. The results show that during the deposition process, internal landslide plays an important role, but surface avalanche is not the main mechanism as observed in monodisperse materials. In addition, the pile structures are not close-packed, and the force networks are not dominated by diamond shapes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
