Recently, MacPherson and Srolovitz formulated the three-dimensional equivalent to the von Neumann-Mullins relation. In contrast with the latter, the new relation does not include directly the topological class of the grains but relates mainly to their metrics. Since a finite mobility of the boundary junctions (triple lines and quadruple junctions) affects the kinetics of the evolution of the granular system, repercussions in the MacPherson-Srolovitz relation are to be expected. In the present contribution, a three-dimensional vertex model is used in simple granular assemblies for the verification of this important relation. In addition, the effect of a finite mobility of the boundary junctions and its impact on the MacPherson-Srolovitz relation is analysed.
