Contact forces in regular 3D granular pile
نویسنده
چکیده
We present exact results for the contact forces in a three dimensional static piling of identical, sti and frictionless spheres. The pile studied is a pyramid of equilateral triangular base (“stack of cannonballs”) with a FCC (face centered cubic) structure. We show in particular that, as for the two dimensional case, the pressure on the base of such a pile is uniform. c © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 83.70.Fn; 46.10.+z

We present exact results for the contact forces in a three dimensional static piling of identical, stiff and frictionless spheres. The pile studied is a pyramid of equilateral triangular base (" stack of cannonballs ") with a FCC (face centered cubic) structure. We show in particular that, as for the two dimensional case, the pressure on the base of such a pile is uniform. The force propagation...
متن کاملContact dynamics in a gently vibrated granular pile.
We use multispeckle diffusive wave spectroscopy to probe the micron-scale dynamics of a water-saturated granular pile submitted to discrete gentle taps. The typical time scale between plastic events is found to increase dramatically with the number of applied taps. Furthermore, this microscopic dynamics weakly depends on the solid fraction of the sample. This process is largely analogous to the...
متن کاملDiscrete Element Simulations of Dense Packings and Heaps made of Spherical and Non-Spherical Particles
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) in the simulation of static packings allows one to investigate the behavior of granular materials by modeling the forces on the particle level. No macroscopic parameters like the angle of repose enter the simulation, but they can be extracted as a result of the particle properties like friction, roughness or shape. One of the issues of static packings recently ...
متن کاملA laboratory Study on Reinforced Expansive Soil with Granular Pile Anchors
Granular Pile Anchor (GPA) considers one of the solution foundation techniques, designed to mitigate the lifting of the sole resulting from expansive soils. This study work is to investigate the uplift movement response of (GPA) in expansive soil. The laboratory tests have been performed on an experimental. The effects of several parameters, such as length (L) of (GPA) and diameter (D), the thi...
متن کاملMeasurement of forces inside a three-dimensional pile of frictionless droplets.
We present systematic and detailed measurements of interparticle contact forces inside three-dimensional piles of frictionless liquid droplets. We measured long-range chainlike correlations of the directions and magnitudes of large forces, thereby establishing the presence of force chains in three dimensions. Our correlation definition provides a chain persistence length of 10 mean droplet diam...
