Abstract :
[en] Compaction dynamics and granular arches have been studied using the electrical resistance of a packing. An exponential decay of the resistance is found whatever the electrical current is. A fluctuation regime is then encountered. A characteristic relaxation time has been pointed out and is linked to the arch formation in the system. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
