Anisotropic frictional model for an object sliding in a granular media
René Zuñiga, Carlos Vasconcellos, Baptiste Darbois Texier +1
Several locomotion strategies are based on the anisotropic nature of the forces experienced by the moving body with its environment. We report experiments on the anisotropy of the…
Geometry-controlled phase transition in vibrated granular media
René Zuñiga, Germán Varas, Stéphane Job
We report experiments on the dynamics of vibrated particles constrained in a two-dimensional vertical container, motivated by the following question: how to get the most out of a g…
Mechanical impulse propagation in a packing of 3D spheres confined at constant pressure
Francisco Santibanez, Rene Zuñiga, Francisco Melo
Mechanical impulse propagation in granular media depends strongly on the imposed confinement conditions. In this work, the propagation of sound in a granular packing contained by f…
