Robust experimental study of avalanche precursory events based on reproducible cycles of grain packing destabilizations

Quasi-periodic collective displacements of grains at the free surface of a tilted grain packing constitute precursors of granular avalanches. Laboratory experiments are commonly performed by slowly tilting the packing from 0° to the maximal stability angle θA. In these conditions, the number of prec...
