An invariant distribution in static granular media
T. Aste, T. Di Matteo, M. Saadatfar +3
We have discovered an invariant distribution for local packing configurations in static granular media. This distribution holds in experiments for packing fractions covering most o…
Phase transition in a static granular system
Matthias Schröter, Sibylle Nägle, Charles Radin +1
We find that a column of glass beads exhibits a well-defined transition between two phases that differ in their resistance to shear. Pulses of fluidization are used to prepare stat…
Mechanisms in the size segregation of a binary granular mixture
M. Schröter, S. Ulrich, J. Kreft +2
A granular mixture of particles of two sizes that is shaken vertically will in most cases segregate. If the larger particles accumulate at the top of the sample, this is called the…
