The equations of stress in a granular material

S.f Edwards

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998, vol. 249, issue 1, 226-231

Abstract: The specification dictated by the specification of a granular ensemble is given and it is argued that randomly shaped, incompressible and perfectly rough grains, all suffer four point contacts. A hierarchy of functions which describe the static equilibrium is set up, and equations for these functions are established. Some applications are briefly discussed.
