Abstract

We investigate collective dissipative properties of vibrated granular materials by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Rates of energy losses indicate three different regimes or "phases"in the amplitude-frequency plane of the external forcing, namely, solid, convective, and gas-like regimes. The behavior of effective damping decrement in the solid regime is glassy. Practical applications are dicussed.
