Resumen:
Simulations of granular packings in 2-D by throwing disks in a rectangular die are performed. Different size distributions as bimodal, uniform and gaussian are used. Once the array of particles is done, a relaxation process is carried on using a large-amplitude, low-frequency vertical shaking. We measure the density of the packing, contact distribution, coordination number distribution, entropy and also the disk size distribution vs. height. The dependence of all these magnitudes on the number of shakings and on the size distribution are explored and discussed.
