Intruder penetration into granular matter studied by Lock-in Accelerometry
L. Alonso-Llanes, G. Sánchez-Colina, E. Martínez +3
Understanding the penetration dynamics of intruders in granular beds is relevant not only for fundamental physics, but also for geophysical processes and construction on sediments…
Note: "Lock-in accelerometry" to follow sink dynamics in shaken granular matter
G. Sánchez-Colina, L. Alonso-Llanes, E. Martínez-Román +5
Understanding the penetration dynamics of intruders in granular beds is relevant not only for fundamental Physics, but also for geophysical processes and construction on sediments…
Extraterrestrial sink dynamics in granular matter
E. Altshuler, H. Torres, A. González-Pita +4
A loosely packed bed of sand sits precariously on the fence between mechanically stable and flowing states. This has especially strong implications for animals or vehicles needing…
Revolving rivers in sandpiles: from continuous to intermittent flows
E. Altshuler, R. Toussaint, E. Martinez +3
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 014501 (2003)], the mechanism of "revolving rivers" for sandpile formation is reported: as a steady stream of dry sand is poured onto a ho…
Uphill solitary waves in granular flows
E. Martinez, C. Perez-Penichet, O. Sotolongo-Costa +4
We have experimentally observed a new phenomenon in the surface flow of a granular material. A heap is constructed by injecting sand between two vertical glass plates separated by…
