(A note on) self-similarity in granular media

Soft Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the phenomenon of self-similarity appears in granular media, with an intergrain potential Vδp+1V \propto \delta^{p+1}, p>1p > 1, where δ\delta is the overlap between the grains. Although this fact can be traced back in the literature, this has not been put explicitly.
