Results suggest the existence of a critical tap intensity that depends on the mass overburden, which produces a maximum bulk solids fraction. We find that the mechanism responsible for the relaxation phenomenon is evolving quasi-ordered packing structure propagating upwards from the plane floor.4 pages, 6 figuresDisordered Systems and Neural Networkstext
