Vibration can enhance stick-slip behavior for granular friction
Abram H. Clark, Robert P. Behringer, Jacqueline Krim
We experimentally study the frictional behavior of a two-dimensional slider pulled slowly over a granular substrate comprised of photoelastic disks. The slider is vibrated at frequ…
Seismicity in sheared granular matter
Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Joshua Socolar +1
We report on experiments investigating the dynamics of a slider that is pulled by a spring across a granular medium consisting of a vertical layer of photo-elastic disks. The motio…
Thermal Marangoni-driven Dynamics of Spinning Liquid Films
Joshua A. Dijksman, Shomeek Mukhopadhyay, Robert P. Behringer +1
Spin coating of thin films of viscous liquids on a rotating substrate is a core technological component of semiconductor microchip fabrication. The thinning dynamics is influenced…
Crackling to periodic dynamics in sheared granular media
Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Robert Behringer
The local and global dynamics of a sheared granular medium are studied in a model experiment as a function of several macroscopic parameters. We observe that by changing the shear…
