Abstract
Experiments on thin layers of granular material subjected to vertical vibration reveal a series of subharmonic bifurcations from flat surface to standing wave patterns. From pressure and surface layer dilation measurements we show that a solid-liquid-type transition precedes surface wave bifurcation, indicating that these waves are associated to the fluid like behavior of the layer.

It is well known that mobility in a granular material depends strongly on the energy injection rate. See for instance P. K. Haff, J. Fluid Mech. 134, 401 (1983).
