3. Rheology of vibrated granular media
3.1 Granular media
Granular media are ubiquitous in our environment, and for centuries have been of considerable socio-economic interest in all areas of human activity. As far back as antiquity, the Persians and Egyptians made bricks from agglomerated and dried clays. These techniques are still used today, notably for the restoration of ancient monuments and traditional dwellings.

This development was not confined to the metallurgy industry,...
