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…
Elastic wave propagation in confined granular systems
Ellak Somfai, Jean-Noel Roux, Jacco H. Snoeijer +2
We present numerical simulations of acoustic wave propagation in confined granular systems consisting of particles interacting with the three-dimensional Hertz-Mindlin force law. T…
Force correlations in the q-model for general q-distributions
Jacco H. Snoeijer, J. M. J. van Leeuwen
We study force correlations in the q-model for granular media at infinite depth, for general q-distributions. We show that there are no 2-point force correlations as long as q-valu…
Force Relaxation in the q-model for Granular Media
Jacco H. Snoeijer, J. M. J. van Leeuwen
We study the relaxation of force distributions in the q-model, assuming a uniform q-distribution. We show that "diffusion of correlations" makes this relaxation very slow. On a d-d…
