Mimetic intruders in a two dimensional system of vertically excited granulate — •Jonathan Kollmer, Christof A. Kruelle, and Ingo Rehberg — Universität Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany

An initially close packed granular bed of hard spheres is confined by two glass plates with a separation only slightly larger than the particle diameter. In this experiment one or more intruders are inserted and the container is exposed to sinusoidal oscillations. When a critical value of the forcing strength is reached, the granular bed begins to fluidize[1] and segregation as well as intruder-intruder interaction can be observed. While common experiments[2] to study these effects use large disks as intruders this approach utilizes intruders composed of the same beads as the granulate.
