Avalanche Statistics of Driven Granular Slides in a Miniature Mound
We examine avalanche statistics of rain- and vibration-driven granular slides
in miniature sand mounds. A crossover from power-law to non power-law
avalanche-size statistics is demonstrated as a generic driving rate is
increased. For slowly-driven mounds, the tail of the avalanche-size
distribution is a power-law with exponent , reasonably close to
the value previously reported for landslide volumes. The interevent occurrence
times are also analyzed for slowly-driven mounds; its distribution exhibits a
power-law with exponent .Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
