Can one make a powder forget its history?

Abstract
It is shown that computer simulations can qualitatively reproduce experiments, where a powder of cohesive, round, hard particles is periodically deformed at constant volume. Two types of initial configurations are considered: Uniaxially precompacted ballistic deposits and biaxially precompacted DLA-clusters. Both initial configurations had the same volume fraction, but due to the different precompaction procedure completely different principal stresses. After a transient which lasts only less than a period, the stresses follow the same periodic function, i.e. the powder forgot its history.
