GRANULAR MEDIA AS A PHYSICS PROBLEM

Although there is a vast engineering literature for granular materials, as a subject for physicists it has seen great growth in recent years. This is because, when stripped down to the fundamental problem, it is quite novel, and demands a rethink of the kind of laws familiar elsewhere in physics. We consider the transmission of stress in granular materials and investigate the simplest statically determinate problem.
