We employ numerical simulations to understand the evolution of elastic standing waves in disordered frictional disk systems, where the dispersion relations of rotational sound modes are analyzed in detail. As in the case of frictional particles on a lattice, the rotational modes exhibit an optical-like dispersion relation in the high frequency regime, representing a shoulder of the vibrational density of states and fast oscillations of the autocorrelations of rotational velocities. A lattice-based model describes the dispersion relations of the rotational modes for small wave numbers. The rotational modes are perfectly explained by the model if tangential elastic forces between the disks in contact are large enough. If the tangential forces are comparable with or smaller than normal forces, the model fails for short wave lengths. However, the dispersion relation of the rotational modes then follows the model prediction for transverse modes, implying that the fast oscillations of disks rotations switch to acoustic sound behavior. We evidence such a transition of the rotational modes by analyzing the eigen vectors of disordered frictional disks and identify upper and lower limits of the frequency-bands. We find that those are not reversed over the whole range of tangential stiffness as a remarkable difference from the rotational sound in frictional particles on a lattice.

We examine the transmissibility of a simulated two-dimensional pack of frictionless disks formed by confining dilute disks in a shrinking, periodic box to the point of mechanical stability. Two opposite boundaries are then removed, thus allowing a se
t of free motions. Small free displacements on one boundary then induce proportional displacements on the opposite boundary. Transmissibility is the ability to distinguish different perturbations by their distant responses. We assess transmissibility by successively identifying free orthonormal modes of motion that have the {em smallest} distant responses. The last modes to be identified in this pessimistic basis are the most transmissive. The transmitted amplitudes of these most transmissive modes fall off exponentially with mode number. Similar exponential falloff is seen in a simple elastic medium, though the responsible modes differ greatly in structure in the two systems. Thus the marginal packs transmissibility is qualitatively similar to that of a simple elastic medium. We compare our results with recent findings based on the projection of the space of free motion onto interior sites.
We experimentally investigate the fluidization of a granular material subject to mechanical vibrations by monitoring the angular velocity of a vane suspended in the medium and driven by an external motor. On increasing the frequency we observe a re-e
ntrant transition, as a jammed system first enters a fluidized state, where the vane rotates with high constant velocity, and then returns to a frictional state, where the vane velocity is much lower. While the fluidization frequency is material independent, the viscosity recovery frequency shows a clear dependence on the material, that we rationalize by relating this frequency to the balance between dissipative and inertial forces in the system. Molecular dynamics simulations well reproduce the experimental data, confirming the suggested theoretical picture.
Predicting when rupture occurs or cracks progress is a major challenge in numerous elds of industrial, societal and geophysical importance. It remains largely unsolved: Stress enhancement at cracks and defects, indeed, makes the macroscale dynamics e
xtremely sensitive to the microscale material disorder. This results in giant statistical uctuations and non-trivial behaviors upon upscaling dicult to assess via the continuum approaches of engineering. These issues are examined here. We will see: How linear elastic fracture mechanics sidetracks the diculty by reducing the problem to that of the propagation of a single crack in an eective material free of defects, How slow cracks sometimes display jerky dynamics, with sudden violent events incompatible with the previous approach, and how some paradigms of statistical physics can explain it, How abnormally fast cracks sometimes emerge due to the formation of microcracks at very small scales.
Recent experiments with rotational diffusion of a probe in a vibrated granular media revealed a rich scenario, ranging from the dilute gas to the dense liquid with cage effects and an unexpected superdiffusive behavior at large times. Here we setup a
simulation that reproduces quantitatively the experimental observations and allows us to investigate the properties of the host granular medium, a task not feasible in the experiment. We discover a persistent collective rotational mode which emerges at high density and low granular temperature: a macroscopic fraction of the medium slowly rotates, randomly switching direction after very long times. Such a rotational mode of the host medium is the origin of probes superdiffusion. Collective motion is accompanied by a kind of dynamical heterogeneity at intermediate times (in the cage stage) followed by a strong reduction of fluctuations at late times, when superdiffusion sets in.
The mechanics of cohesive or cemented granular materials is complex, combining the heterogeneous responses of granular media, like force chains, with clearly defined material properties. Here, we use a discrete element model (DEM) simulation, consist
ing of an assemblage of elastic particles connected by softer but breakable elastic bonds, to explore how this class of material deforms and fails under uniaxial compression. We are particularly interested in the connection between the microscopic interactions among the grains or particles and the macroscopic material response. To this end, the properties of the particles and the stiffness of the bonds are matched to experimental measurements of a cohesive granular media with tunable elasticity. The criterion for breaking a bond is also based on an explicit Griffith energy balance, with realistic surface energies. By varying the initial volume fraction of the particle assembles we show that this simple model reproduces a wide range of experimental behaviors, both in the elastic limit and beyond it. These include quantitative details of the distinct failure modes of shear-banding, ductile failure and compaction banding or anti-cracks, as well as the transitions between these modes. The present work, therefore, provides a unified framework for understanding the failure of porous materials such as sandstone, marble, powder aggregates, snow and foam.
