Measurement of granular contact forces using frequency scanning interferometry

The propagation of stress within a granular material has been studied for many years, but only recently have models and theories focused on the micromechanical (single grain) level. Experiments at this level are still rather limited in number. For this reason, a system using optical techniques has b...
