Locomotion of Self-Excited Vibrating and Rotating Objects in Granular Environments
Many reptiles, known as `sand swimmers’, adapt to their specific environments by vibrating or rotating their body. To understand these type of interactions of active objects with granular media, we study a simplified model of a self-excited spherical object (SO) immersed in the granular bed, using t...
