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...
