In this work, we first review some general properties of dense granular materials. We are particularly concerned with a statistical description of these materials, and it is in this light that we briefly describe results from four representative studies. These are: experiment 1: determining local force statistics, vector forces, force distributions and correlations for static granular systems; experiment 2: characterizing the jamming transition, for a static two-dimensional system; experiment 3: characterizing plastic failure in dense granular materials; and experiment 4: a dynamical transition where the material ‘freezes’ in the presence of apparent heating for a sheared and shaken system.

The jamming transition in granular materials is well-known to exhibit hysteresis, wherein the level of shear stress required to trigger flow is larger than that below which flow stops. Although...
