Simulation of Inhomogeneous Columns of Beads under Vertical Vibration

Figure 4

At , , and (the same as in Figure 3), but placing 5 heavier spheres (mass ) on the bottom and 5 spheres (mass ) on the top of column with mass ratio the spheres follow chaotic trajectories, as indicated in frequency spectrum of the center-of-mass motion.
