Spin-models of granular compaction: From one-dimensional models to random graphs

Disordered Systems and Neural Networks 2016-11-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss two athermal types of dynamics suitable for spin-models designed to model repeated tapping of a granular assembly. These dynamics are applied to a range of models characterised by a 3-spin Hamiltonian aiming to capture the geometric frustration in packings of granular matter.
