Experimental characterization of vibrated granular rings
Z. A. Daya, E. Ben-Naim, R. E. Ecke
We report an experimental study of the statistical properties of vibrated granular rings. In this system, a linked rod and bead metallic chain in the form of a ring is collisionall…
Spontaneous spirals in vibrated granular chains
R. E. Ecke, Z. A. Daya, M. K. Rivera +1
We present experimental measurements on the spontaneous formation of compact spiral structures in vertically-vibrated granular chains. Under weak vibration, when the chain is quasi…
Entropic Tightening of Vibrated Chains
M. B. Hastings, Z. A. Daya, E. Ben-Naim +1
We investigate experimentally the distribution of configurations of a ring with an elementary topological constraint, a ``figure-8'' twist. Using vibrated granular chains, which pe…
Knots and Random Walks in Vibrated Granular Chains
E. Ben-Naim, Z. A. Daya, P. Vorobieff +1
We study experimentally statistical properties of the opening times of knots in vertically vibrated granular chains. Our measurements are in good qualitative and quantitative agree…
Dynamics of Vibrated Granular Monolayers
X. Nie, E. Ben-Naim, S. Y. Chen
We study statistical properties of vibrated granular monolayers using molecular dynamics simulations. We show that at high excitation strengths, the system is in a gas state, parti…
