The depletion force in a bi-disperse granular layer
P. Melby, A. Prevost, D. A. Egolf +1
We demonstrate the effect of the depletion force in experiments and simulations of vertically vibrated mixtures of large and small steel spheres. The system exhibits size segregati…

The dynamics of thin vibrated granular layers
P. Melby, F. Vega Reyes, A. Prevost +4
We describe a series of experiments and computer simulations on vibrated granular media in a geometry chosen to eliminate gravitationally induced settling. The system consists of a…

Non-equilibrium two-phase coexistence in a confined granular layer
Alexis Prevost, Paul Melby, David A. Egolf +1
We report the observation of the homogenous nucleation of crystals in a dense layer of steel spheres confined between two horizontal plates vibrated vertically. Above a critical vi…
