✦ Synopsis
Numerical simulations of 250 mutually colliding particles, revolving in the gravitational field of a central body, indicate that velocity dependent coefficient of restitution, CI = a(v), can lead to a many particle thick equilibrium state, independent of the initial conditions. The essential requirement for this to take place is that dcljdv < 0, in agreement with theoretical predktions. In the case dajdu > 0, the system either disperses through growing random velocities, or flattens to a near monolayer state, depending on the initial conditions.

We report two-dimensional simulations of strongly vibrated granular materials without gravity. The coefficient of restitution depends on the impact velocity between particles by taking into account both the viscoelastic and plastic deformations of particles, occurring at low and high velocities resp
