#granular_structures

Dynamic properties of materials can be used for automated object assemblies. While put into a dynamic environment, single geometries will interlock and create new objects that act differently than the original ones.

Displaced objects before the vibrations started.

In the vibrations process, the single spirals move closer to each other in specific areas defined by material properties and the interactions of grains with the surrounding environment and objects.

Granular Vibrations revealed underlying principles hidden beneath the forms formed by granular materials. What happens if we exchange the existing material principles with fabricated geometries? For thes purpose, two different geometries were introduced: the lock and the disruptor. Their role is to force or to suppress the communication between single particles in the mixture.
