Granular entropy: Explicit calculations for planar assemblies
arXiv:cond-mat/0303418 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.114303
Abstract
This paper proposes a new volume function for calculation of the entropy of planar granular assemblies. This function is extracted from the antisymmetric part of a new geometric tensor and is rigorously additive when summed over grains. It leads to the identification of a conveniently small phase space. The utility of the volume function is demonstrated on several case studies, for which we calculate explicitly the mean volume and the volume fluctuations.
