The dynamical response of granular systems under certain excitations is considered. In particular the breakdown of the energy conservation in the collisions among grains, with respect to the classical termodynamical- kinetical description of the molecule in gases, is taken into account and it is addressed how unexpected conceptual and pratical consequences arise.
