Stress-birefringence for granular particles in three dimensions — Andreas Wandert and •Matthias Sperl — Institut für Materialphysik im Weltraum, DLR, Köln

It has been shown repeatedly how stress-birefringence can be used to analyze forces in granular packings in two dimensions [see e.g. Majmudar/Sperl/Luding/Behringer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 058001 (2007]. In this contribution it is shown how this method can be extended to three dimensions.
