Solid/semi-solid material which liquifies when vibrated

  • 1.  Solid/semi-solid material which liquifies when vibrated

    Posted 01-29-2020 11:00 AM
    Is there any material which changes into liquid state when given certain vibration such as earthquake? As we know that when we vibrate saturated sand, liquefaction takes places and the sandy soil totally liquefies. Anything above it will act as a floating structure at that time.
    Is there any other material that can be synthesized or is available that will liquify when vibrated? In normal state it should be rigid. When vibrated it should be liquid.
