Force Dynamics in Weakly Vibrated Granular Packings
Paul Umbanhowar, Martin van Hecke
The oscillatory force F_b^ac on the bottom of a rigid, vertically vibrated, grain filled column, reveals rich granular dynamics, even when the peak acceleration of the vibrations i…
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…
