Stripes ordering in self-stratification experiments of binary and ternary granular mixtures

Abstract:
The self-stratification of binary and ternary granular mixtures has been experimentally investigated. Ternary mixtures lead to a particular ordering of the strata which was not accounted for in former explanations. Bouncing grains are found to have an important effect on stratum formation. A complementary mechanism for self-stratification of binary and ternary granular mixtures is proposed.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or more types of...
