Exact calculation of force networks in granular piles

  • 23 July 1997
Abstract
We use a symbolic calculation software to get exact results for the force propagation in an hyperstatic triangular lattice piling of discs in the absence of friction and in the limit of hard discs. The system is studied for different orientations of the lattice and different boundary conditions. Our results agree well with numerical simulations done with molecular dynamics.
