The missing stress-geometry equation in granular media
S. F. Edwards, D. V. Grinev
The simplest solvable problem of stress transmission through a static granular material is when the grains are perfectly rigid and have an average coordination number of $\bar{z}=d…
Statistical Physics of the Jamming Transition: The Search for Simple Models
S. F. Edwards, D. V. Grinev
We investigate universal features of the jamming transition in granular materials, colloids and glasses. We show that the jamming transition in these systems has common features: s…
Statistical Mechanics of Stress Transmission in Disordered Granular Arrays
S. F. Edwards, D. V. Grinev
We give a statistical-mechanical theory of stress transmission in disordered arrays of rigid grains with perfect friction. Starting from the equations of microscopic force and torq…
The Stress Transmission Universality Classes of Periodic Granular Arrays
R. C. Ball, D. V. Grinev
The transmission of stress is analysed for static periodic arrays of rigid grains, with perfect and zero friction. For minimal coordination number (which is sensitive to friction,…
Statistical Mechanics of Vibration-Induced Compaction of Powders
S. F. Edwards, D. V. Grinev
We propose a theory which describes the density relaxation of loosely packed, cohesionless granular material under mechanical tapping. Using the compactivity concept we develope a…
