Temperature cycling compacts granular columns because the container expands more than the grains, and the densification follows the slow logarithmic relaxation seen in aging glasses.

abstract
We review the field of the glass transition, glassy dynamics and aging from a statistical mechanics perspective. We give a brief introduction to the subject and explain the main phenomenology encountered in glassy systems, with a particular emphasis on spatially heterogeneous dynamics. We review the main theoretical approaches currently available to account for these glassy phenomena, including recent developments regarding mean-field theory of liquids and glasses, novel computational tools, and connections to the jamming transition. Finally, the physics of aging and off-equilibrium dynamics exhibited by glassy materials is discussed.

Compaction of Granular Columns under Thermal Cycling
Temperature cycling compacts granular columns because the container expands more than the grains, and the densification follows the slow logarithmic relaxation seen in aging glasses.
