Towards minimal models for realistic granular materials: Tomographic analysis of bidispersed assemblies of ellipsoids

In this paper, we report experimental results on granular compaction in a model system made of mono- and bidisperse ellipsoidal packings as well as sand packings with grain size polydispersity. The packings are subject to vertical tapping of varying duration (number of taps) and their internal three...
