Entropy maximization in the force network ensemble for granular solids
Brian P. Tighe, Adrianne R. T. van Eerd, Thijs J. H. Vlugt
A long-standing issue in the area of granular media is the tail of the force distribution, in particular whether this is exponential, Gaussian, or even some other form. Here we res…

The tail of the contact force distribution in static granular materials
Adrianne R. T. van Eerd, Wouter G. Ellenbroek, Martin van Hecke +2
We numerically study the distribution P(f) of contact forces in frictionless bead packs, by averaging over the ensemble of all possible force network configurations. We resort to u…
