Failure of the Volume Function in Granular Statistical Mechanics and an Alternative Formulation
Raphael Blumenfeld, Shahar Amitai, Joe F. Jordan +1
We first show that the currently accepted statistical mechanics for granular matter is flawed. The reason is that it is based on the volume function, which depends only on a minute…

Inter-dependence of the volume and stress ensembles and equipartition in statistical mechanics of granular systems
Raphael Blumenfeld, Joe F. Jordan, Sam F. Edwards
We discuss the statistical mechanics of granular matter and derive several significant results. First, we show that, contrary to common belief, the volume and stress ensembles are…
