Structure and dynamics of vibrated granular chains: Comparison to equilibrium polymers
We show that the statistical properties of a vibrated granular bead chain are similar to standard models of polymers in equilibrium. Granular chains of length up to N=1024 beads were confined within a circular vibrating bed, and their configurations were imaged. To differentiate the effects of persi...
