We study here the spontaneous clustering of a submonolayer of grains under horizontal circular shaking. The clustering of grains occurs when increasing the oscillation amplitude beyond a threshold. The dense area travels in a circular fashion at the driving frequency, even exceeds the speed of driving. It turns out that the observed clustering is due to the formation of density wave. The analysis of a phenomenological model shows that the instability of the uniform density profile arises by increasing the oscillation amplitude and captures the non-monotonic dependence of the transition amplitude of the clustering on the global density of the system. Here, the key ingredient is that the velocity of individual grains increases with the local density. The interplay of dissipative particle-particle interaction and the frictional driving of the substrate results into this dependence, which is tested with discrete element method simulations.

A two-dimensional granular packing under horizontally circular shaking exhibits various collective motion modes depending on the strength of the oscillation and the global packing density. For intermediate packing density and oscillation amplitude, a high density phase travels along the containers side wall in clockwise direction, while the oscillation itself is anti-clockwise. Further increasing packing density towards the hexagonal packing, the whole packing rotates collectively in clockwise direction. The core of the packing rotates as a solid and is separated from the boundary by a fluid-like layer. Both motion modes are associated with the asymmetric motion of particles close to the side wall.

Vertically vibrated rod-shaped granular materials confined to quasi-2D containers self organize into distinct patterns. We find, consistent with theory and simulation, a density dependent isotropic-nematic transition. Along the walls, rods interact s terically to form a wetting layer. For high rod densities, complex patterns emerge as a result of competition between bulk and boundary alignment. A continuum elastic energy accounting for nematic distortion and local wall anchoring reproduces the structures seen experimentally.
We investigate, at a laboratory scale, the collapse of cylindrical shells of radius $R$ and thickness $t$ induced by a granular discharge. We measure the critical filling height for which the structure fails upon discharge. We observe that the silos sustain filling heights significantly above an estimation obtained by coupling standard shell-buckling and granular stress distribution theories. Two effects contribute to stabilize the structure: (i) below the critical filling height, a dynamical stabilization due to granular wall friction prevents the localized shell-buckling modes to grow irreversibly; (ii) above the critical filling height, collapse occurs before the downward sliding motion of the whole granular column sets in, such that only a partial friction mobilization is at play. However, we notice also that the critical filling height is reduced as the grain size, $d$, increases. The importance of grain size contribution is controlled by the ratio $d/sqrt{R t}$. We rationalize these antagonist effects with a novel fluid/structure theory both accounting for the actual status of granular friction at the wall and the inherent shell imperfections mediated by the grains. This theory yields new scaling predictions which are compared with the experimental results.
Using experiments with anisotropic vibrated rods and quasi-2D numerical simulations, we show that shape plays an important role in the collective dynamics of self-propelled (SP) particles. We demonstrate that SP rods exhibit local ordering, aggregati on at the side walls, and clustering absent in round SP particles. Furthermore, we find that at sufficiently strong excitation SP rods engage in a persistent swirling motion in which the velocity is strongly correlated with particle orientation.
We use Topological Data Analysis to study the post buckling behavior of laboratory scale cylindrical silos under gravity driven granular discharges. Thin walled silos buckle during the discharge if the initial height of the granular column is large e nough. The deformation of the silo is reversible as long as the filling height does not exceed a critical value, $L_c$. Beyond this threshold the deformation becomes permanent and the silo often collapses. We study the dynamics of reversible and irreversible deformation processes, varying the initial filling height around $L_c$. We find that all reversible processes exhibit striking similarities and they alternate between regimes of slow and fast dynamics. The patterns that occur at the beginning of irreversible deformation processes are topologically very similar to those that arise during reversible processes. However, the dynamics of reversible and irreversible processes is significantly different. In particular, the evolution of irreversible processes is much faster. This allows us to make an early prediction of the collapse of the silo based solely on observations of the deformation patterns.
