Onset of mechanical stability in random packings of frictional spheres
Melissa Jerkins, Matthias Schröter, Harry L. Swinney +3
Using sedimentation to obtain precisely controlled packings of noncohesive spheres, we find that the volume fraction of the loosest mechanically stable packing is in…

Local and Global relations between the number of contacts and density in monodisperse sphere packs
T. Aste, M. Saadatfar, T. J. Senden
The topological structure resulting from the network of contacts between grains (\emph{contact network}) is studied for large samples of monosized spheres with densities (fraction…

An invariant distribution in static granular media
T. Aste, T. Di Matteo, M. Saadatfar +3
We have discovered an invariant distribution for local packing configurations in static granular media. This distribution holds in experiments for packing fractions covering most o…
