[en] Shaking a granular medium increases its packing fraction. While extensively studied, this phenomenon, called compaction, remains puzzling. Indeed, compaction is determined by many parameters like the grain’s shapes, sizes and the acceleration of vibration. In our study, we address the effect of vibration’s direction. We present experimental results for different experimental conditions (horizontal versus vertical vibrations).
