Identifying bridges from asymmetric load-bearing structures in tapped granular packings

Abstract The presence of gravity and friction results in the formation of cooperative bridge structures in granular systems, where neighboring particles support each other for mutual stability. These bridge structures serve as unique mechanical backbones in both static granular packings and dynamic...
