Master curves for the stress tensor invariants in stationary states of static granular beds. Implications for the thermodynamic phase space

<p>We prepare static granular beds under gravity in different stationary states by tapping the system with pulsed excitations of controlled amplitude and duration. The macroscopic state---defined by the ensemble of static configurations explored by the system tap after tap---for a given tap in...
