Green's function probe of a static granular piling
arXiv:cond-mat/0012083 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.3308
Abstract
We present an experiment which aim is to investigate the mechanical properties of a static granular assembly. The piling is an horizontal 3D granular layer confined in a box, we apply a localized extra force at the surface and the spatial distribution of stresses at the bottom is obtained (the mechanical Green's function). For different types of granular media, we observe a linear pressure response which profile shows one peak centered at the vertical of the point of application. The peak's width increases linearly when increasing the depth. This green function seems to be in -at least- qualitative agreement with predictions of elastic theory.
