Computer Simulation of Contact Force Distribution in Random Granular Packings
Abstract Discrete element simulations show that the contact force distribution in a stressed granular packing can be described by a single, lumped parameter known as the “mechanical temperature”. The simulated results suggest that equilibrium is governed by a free energy functional containing an energy and an entropy component. Similar to the role of the conventional thermal temperature, the mechanical temperature controls the relative importance between energy and entropy.
