A sandpile model with dip

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1996, vol. 230, issue 3, 329-335

Abstract: We present a simple model of forces inside a granular medium. The model is applied to simulate the forces within a sandpile, and has further the feature of generating the sandpile itself. At the bottom of the sandpile the distribution of vertical forces shows a local minimum under the apex of the pile, in coherence with experimental observations.
