Starting to move through a granular medium
D. J. Costantino, T. J. Scheidemantel, M. B. Stone +5
We explore the process of initiating motion through a granular medium by measuring the force required to push a flat circular plate upward from underneath the medium. In contrast t…
Flux through a hole from a shaken granular medium
K. Chen, M. B. Stone, R. Barry +7
We have measured the flux of grains from a hole in the bottom of a shaken container of grains. We find that the peak velocity of the vibration, vmax, controls the flux, i.e., the f…
Studies of local jamming via penetration of a granular medium
M. B. Stone, R. Barry, D. P. Bernstein +3
We present a series of measurements examining the penetration force required to push a flat plate vertically through a dense granular medium, focusing in particular on the effects…
Modeling relaxation and jamming in granular media
B. Kahng, I. Albert, P. Schiffer +1
We introduce a stochastic microscopic model to investigate the jamming and reorganization of grains induced by an object moving through a granular medium. The model reproduces the…
