Force rearrangements and statistics of hyperstatic granular force networks
Brian P. Tighe, Thijs J. H. Vlugt
The heterogeneous force networks in static granular media --- formed from contact forces between grains and spanning from boundary to boundary in the packing --- are distinguished…
The force network ensemble for granular packings
Brian P. Tighe, Jacco H. Snoeijer, Thijs J. H. Vlugt +1
For packings of hard but not perfectly rigid particles, the length scales that govern the packing geometry and the contact forces are well separated. This separation of length scal…
Model for the Scaling of Stresses and Fluctuations in Flows near Jamming
Brian P. Tighe, Erik Woldhuis, Joris J. C. Remmers +2
We probe flows of soft, viscous spheres near the jamming point, which acts as a critical point for static soft spheres. Starting from energy considerations, we find nontrivial scal…
Couette Flow of Two-Dimensional Foams
G. Katgert, B. P. Tighe, M. E. Möbius +1
We experimentally investigate flow of quasi two-dimensional disordered foams in Couette geometries, both for foams squeezed below a top plate and for freely floating foams. With th…
