Particle dampers have been used in aerospace engineering for decades, for its robustness and responsiveness under harsh environmental conditions. Their practical interest encounters however a lack of theoretical models for dense granular systems. Here we show that the (numerical) analysis of systems of vibrated material particles reveals different dissipative regimes which can be mapped into a gas-, liquid- and solid-like phases [1]. Numerical simulations help to understand particle damping and find higher scale theoretical models -where the details of grain motion are irrelevant, which can be used to model the response of a granular damper [2].
