Effect of size polydispersity on micromechanical properties of static granular materials
We analytically investigate the influence of particle size polydispersity on the micromechanical properties of granular packings. In order to approximate the macroscopic quantities in terms of the microscale details, we develop a meanfield approach. It is shown that the trace of the fabric and stres...
