Directed force chain networks and stress response in static granular materials.
A theory of stress fields in two-dimensional granular materials based on directed force chain networks is presented. A general Boltzmann equation for the densities of force chains in different directions is proposed and a complete solution is obtained for a special case in which chains lie along a discrete set of directions. The analysis and results demonstrate the necessity of including nonlin...
متن کاملTail of the contact force distribution in static granular materials.
We numerically study the distribution P(f) of contact forces in frictionless bead packs, by averaging over the ensemble of all possible force network configurations. We resort to umbrella sampling to resolve the asymptotic decay of P(f) for large f , and determine P(f) down to values of order 10{-45} for ordered and disordered systems in two (2D) and three dimensions (3D). Our findings unambigu...
متن کاملJamming and static stress transmission in granular materials.
We have recently developed some simple continuum models of static granular media which display "fragile" behavior: They predict that the medium is unable to support certain types of infinitesimal load (which we call "incompatible" loads) without plastic rearrangement. We argue that a fragile description may be appropriate when the mechanical integrity of the medium arises adaptively, in respons...

متن کاملFriction and pressure-dependence of force chain communities in granular materials
Granular materials transmit stress via a network of force chains. Despite the importance of these chains in characterizing the stress state and dynamics of the system, there is no common framework for quantifying their properties. Recently, attention has turned to the tools of network science as a promising route to such a description. In this paper, we apply a common network-science technique,...
