Granular compaction and stretched exponentials - Experiments and a numerical stochastic model

We present a stochastic model to investigate the compaction kinetics of a granular material submitted to vibration. The model is compared to experimental results obtained with glass beads and with a cohesive powder. We also propose a physical interpretation of the characteristic time τ and the expon...
