Sink versus tilt penetration into shaken dry granular matter: The role of the foundation
L. Alonso-Llanes, G. Sánchez-Colina, A J Batista-Leyva +3
We study the behavior of cylindrical objects as they sink into a drygranular bed fluidized due to lateral oscillations. Somewhat unexpectedly, we have found that, within a large ra…
Protecting others vs. protecting yourself against ballistic droplets: Quantification by stain patterns
V. Márquez-Alvarez, J. Amigó-Vera, A. Rivera +2
It is often accepted a priori that a face mask worn by an infected subject is effective to avoid the spreading of a respiratory disease, while a healthy person is not necessarily w…
Continuous to intermittent flows in growing granular heaps
L. Alonso-Llanes, E. Martínez, A. J. Batista-Leyva +2
If a granular material is poured from above on a horizontal surface between two parallel, vertical plates, a sand heap grows in time. For small piles, the grains flow smoothly down…
Optics undergraduate experiments using smart (and not so smart) phones
V. L. Díaz-Melián, L. A. Rodríguez, F. Pedroso-Camejo +4
Smartphones may be seen as miniature toolboxs to perform Physics experiments. In this paper, we present three different "optics workbenches" mainly based on the light meter of a sm…
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…
Sink vs. tilt penetration into shaken dry granular matter: the role of foundation
G. Sanchez-Colina, A. J. Batista-Leyva, C. Clement +2
We study the behavior of cylindrical objects as they sink into a dry granular bed fluidized due to lateral oscillations, in order to shed light on human constructions and other obj…
