Anisotropy in granular media: classical elasticity and directed force chain network

M. Otto, J. -P. Bouchaud, P. Claudin +1

A general approach is presented for understanding the stress response function in anisotropic granular layers in two dimensions. The formalism accommodates both classical anisotrop…

Stress response function of a granular layer: quantitative comparison between experiments and isotropic elasticity

D. Serero, G. Reydellet, P. Claudin +2

We measured the vertical pressure response function of a layer of sand submitted to a localized normal force at its surface. We found that this response profile depends on the way…

Force chain splitting in granular materials: a mechanism for large scale pseudo-elastic behaviour

J. -P. Bouchaud, P. Claudin, D. Levine +1

We investigate both numerically and analytically the effect of strong disorder on the large scale properties of the hyperbolic equations for stresses proposed in \protect\cite{bcc,…

Stresses in silos: Comparison between theoretical models and new experiments

L. Vanel, Ph. Claudin, J. -Ph. Bouchaud +3

We present precise and reproducible mean pressure measurements at the bottom of a cylindrical granular column. If a constant overload is added, the pressure is linear in overload a…

Development of Stresses in Cohesionless Poured Sand

M. E. Cates, J. Wittmer, J. P. Bouchaud +1

The pressure distribution beneath a conical sandpile, created by pouring sand from a point source onto a rough rigid support, shows a pronounced minimum below the apex (`the dip').…

Models of stress propagation in granular media

J. -P. Bouchaud, P. Claudin, M. E. Cates +1

Stress patterns in static granular media exhibit unusual features when compared to either liquids or elastic solids. Qualitatively, we attribute these features to the presence of `…
