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…

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,…
