3D bulk measurements of the force distribution in a compressed emulsion system
Abstract
In particulate materials, such as emulsions and granular media, a “jammed” system results if particles are packed together so that all particles are touching their neighbours, provided the density is sufficiently high. This paper studies through experiment, theory and simulation, the forces that particles exert upon one another in such a jammed state. for large forces. This result is in good agreement with experimental and simulated data.
