Abstract
We discuss the use of a ferromagnetic spin model on a random graph to model granular compaction. A multispin interaction is used to capture the competition between local and global satisfaction of constraints characteristic for geometric frustration. We define an athermal dynamics designed to model repeated taps of a given strength. Amplitude cycling and the effect of permanently constraining a subset of the spins at a given amplitude is discussed. Finally we check the validity of Edwards's hypothesis for the athermal tapping dynamics.
