The role of self-organization during confined comminution of granular materials
2009
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences
During confined comminution of granular materials a power-law grain size distribution (gsd) frequently evolves. We consider this power law as a hint for fractal topology if self-similar patterns appear across the scales. We demonstrate that this ultimate topology is mostly affected by the rules that define the self-organization of the fragment subunits, which agrees well with observations from simplistic models of cellular automata. There is, however, a major difference that highlights the
