Self-stresses control stiffness and stability in overconstrained disordered networks
Anwesha Bose, Mathijs F. J. Vermeulen, Cornelis Storm +1
We investigate the interplay between pre-stress and mechanical properties in random elastic networks. To do this in a controlled fashion, we introduce an algorithm for creating ran…
Bounds on the shear load of cohesionless granular matter
Wouter G. Ellenbroek, Jacco H. Snoeijer
We characterize the force state of shear-loaded granular matter by relating the macroscopic stress to statistical properties of the force network. The purely repulsive nature of th…
Sheared force-networks: anisotropies, yielding and geometry
Jacco H. Snoeijer, Wouter G. Ellenbroek, Thijs. J. H. Vlugt +1
A scenario for yielding of granular matter is presented by considering the ensemble of force networks for a given contact network and applied shear stress . As is increased,…
Ensemble Theory for Force Networks in Hyperstatic Granular Matter
Jacco H. Snoeijer, Thijs J. H. Vlugt, Wouter G. Ellenbroek +2
An ensemble approach for force networks in static granular packings is developed. The framework is based on the separation of packing and force scales, together with an a-priori fl…
