Avalanching studies were performed on 2D beds of a unique granular material - uniform length, 2.06 mm diameter flexible metal bead chain. The dynamical behavior of the slowly rotating vertical chain beds was separately characterized using chain lengths of 1, 2, 5, 9 and 13 beads, respectively. Digital images were acquired at 30-second intervals and analyzed to provide comparisons of mean profiles, slope angle variations, avalanche mass distributions and surface step discontinuities. This study is designed to probe how elongation, flexing and rolling affect avalanching through interlocking and polymer-like behavior.
