Stress propagation and Arching in Static Sandpiles
Stress propagation and Arching in Static Sandpiles
We present a new approach to the modelling of stress propagation in static gran- ular media, focussing on the conical sandpile constructed from a point source.JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE I N°1 the stresses in a three-dimensional (conical) pile do not depend much on which secondary closure is chosen.Three-dimensional results for the …
