摘要
We propose a statistical-mechanical theory of stress transmission in disordered arrays of rigid grains with perfect friction. Starting from the equations of intergranular force and torque balance we derive the fundamental equations that govern the propagation of stress through an aggregate. We illustrate the validity of our approach on two simple geometries.
