We investigate a model system for inertial many-particle clustering, in which sub-millimeter objects are acoustically levitated in air. Driven by scattered sound, levitated grains self-assemble into a monolayer of particles, forming mesoscopic granular rafts with both an acoustic binding energy and a bending rigidity. Detuning the acoustic trap can give rise to stochastic forces and torques that impart angular momentum to levitated objects, activating soft modes in the rotating elastic membrane. As the angular momentum of a quasi-two-dimensional granular raft is increased, the raft deforms from a disk to an ellipse, eventually pinching off into multiple separate rafts, in a mechanism that resembles the break-up of a liquid drop. We extract the raft effective surface tension and bulk modulus, and show that acoustic forces give rise to elastic moduli that scale with the raft size. We also show that the raft size controls the microstructural basis of plastic deformation, resulting in a transition from fracture to ductile failure.

Contact electrification of dielectric grains forms the basis for a myriad of physical phenomena. However, even the basic aspects of collisional charging between grains are still unclear. Here we develop a new experimental method, based on acoustic le vitation, which allows us to controllably and repeatedly collide two sub-millimeter grains and measure the evolution of their electric charges. This is therefore the first tribocharging experiment to provide complete electric isolation for the grain-grain system from its surroundings. We use this method to measure collisional charging rates between pairs of grains for three different material combinations: polyethylene-polyethylene, polystyrene-polystyrene, and polystyrene-sulfonated polystyrene. The ability to directly and noninvasively collide particles of different constituent materials, chemical functionality, size, and shape opens the door to detailed studies of collisional charging in granular materials.
A focused acoustic standing wave creates a Hookean potential well for a small sphere and can levitate it stably against gravity. Exposing the trapped sphere to a second transverse traveling sound wave imposes an additional acoustical force that drive s the sphere away from its mechanical equilibrium. The driving force is shaped by interference between the standing trapping wave and the traveling driving. If, furthermore, the traveling wave is detuned from the standing wave, the driving force oscillates at the difference frequency. Far from behaving like a textbook driven harmonic oscillator, however, the wave-driven harmonic oscillator instead exhibits a remarkably rich variety of dynamical behaviors arising from the spatial dependence of the driving force. These include oscillations at both harmonics and subharmonics of the driving frequency, period-doubling routes to chaos and Fibonacci cascades. This model system therefore illustrates opportunities for dynamic acoustical manipulation based on spectral control of the sound field, rather than spatial control.

A 2D contact dynamics model is proposed as a microscopic description of a collapsing suspension/soil to capture the essential physical processes underlying the dynamics of generation and collapse of the system. Our physical model is compared with rea l data obtained from in situ measurements performed with a natural collapsing/suspension soil. We show that the shear strength behavior of our collapsing suspension/soil model is very similar to the behavior of this collapsing suspension soil, for both the unperturbed and the perturbed phases of the material.
We perform three-dimensional simulations of a granular jet impact for both frictional and frictionless grains. Small shear stress observed in the experiment[X. Cheng et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 188001 (2007) ] is reproduced through our simulation. H owever, the fluid state after the impact is far from a perfect fluid, and thus, similarity between granular jets and quark gluon plasma is superficial, because the observed viscosity is finite and its value is consistent with the prediction of the kinetic theory.
We study a general model of granular Brownian ratchet consisting of an asymmetric object moving on a line and surrounded by a two-dimensional granular gas, which in turn is coupled to an external random driving force. We discuss the two resulting Bol tzmann equations describing the gas and the object in the dilute limit and obtain a closed system for the first few moments of the system velocity distributions. Predictions for the net ratchet drift, the variance of its velocity fluctuations and the transition rates in the Markovian limit, are compared to numerical simulations and a fair agreement is observed.
