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…
Nonlinear elastic stress response in granular packings
B. P. Tighe, J. E. S. Socolar
We study the nonlinear elastic response of a two-dimensional material to a localized boundary force, with the particular goal of understanding the differences observed between isot…
Force distributions in a triangular lattice of rigid bars
Brian P. Tighe, Joshua E. S. Socolar, David G. Schaeffer +2
We study the uniformly weighted ensemble of force balanced configurations on a triangular network of nontensile contact forces. For periodic boundary conditions corresponding to is…
