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,…
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…
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…
Packing geometry and statistics of force networks in granular media
Jacco H. Snoeijer, Martin van Hecke, Ellak Somfai +1
The relation between packing geometry and force network statistics is studied for granular media. Based on simulations of two-dimensional packings of Hertzian spheres, we develop a…
