Rearrangements in a two-dimensional packing of disks

Several aspects of the dynamics of a granular two-dimensional (2D) packing of disks slowly tilted until the system loses stability and an avalanche takes place are discussed. The evolution of the system, constructed with monodisperse disks placed on a thin cell, is studied by image analysis. As in t...
