Area of Science:

  • Statistical physics
  • Condensed matter physics
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Large strain shear in granular materials is complex.
  • Understanding self-organization in disordered systems is crucial.
  • Existing models lack a unified approach for granular dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a novel model for granular material shear.
  • Investigate self-organization of density fields.
  • Analyze model behavior on regular and hierarchical lattices.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a model with optimization and restructuring steps.
  • Simulated granular material behavior on hierarchical lattices.
  • Applied exact asymptotic renormalization treatment.

Main Results:

  • Observed self-organization of density fields.
  • Found a close analogy between regular and hierarchical lattice simulations.
  • Characterized dynamics by ergodicity breakdown and unusual system size effects.
  • Identified multifractal properties in age distribution.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed model effectively captures granular material self-organization.
  • Hierarchical lattices provide valuable insights analogous to regular lattices.
  • The model exhibits complex dynamics including multifractality.
