Discrete Element Method studies of the collision of one rapid sphere on 2D and 3D packing

Abstract

We performed numerical simulations of one-bead collision on the surface of a static granular medium. The simulations have been done for two- and three-dimensional packings of beads. The effect of the incident bead velocity, the shot angle, the mechanical parameters and the packing structure are analyzed for ordered and disordered 2D packings and only disordered 3D packings. The 2D results are in good agreement with experimental available data. The 3D simulations give good preliminaries results about the shock-wave propagation through the stacking and provides new insights in the ejection process ("splash function").
