Assessing contact forces in granular materials from experimental measurements of kinematics

We propose a new approach to assess interparticle forces in granular materials, based on the combination of experimental measurements and numerical techniques. Experimental measurements mainly consist in the assessment of the full kinematics of grains in a quasi-statically loaded assembly; such meas...
