Phase transitions in granular packings

We describe the contact network of granular packings by a frustrated lattice gas that contains steric frustration as esential ingredient. Two transitions are identified, a spin glass transition at the onset of Reynolds dilatancy and at lower densities a percolation transition. We describe the correlation functions that give rise to the singularities and propose some dynamical experiments.
