contents This paper is interested in the computation of stresses within jammed packings of rigid polygonal cells. The cells are considered to follow a Tresca friction law. First, a constrained minimization problem is introduced where the friction energy is minimized while enforcing the non-interpenetration of neighboring cells as inequality constraints. The corresponding dual maximization problem is then deduced and its solutions provide normal stresses at the interface between cells. Finally, lowest order Raviart-Thomas finite elements are used to reconstruct a consistent stress field by solving local problems. Numerical results are presented to showcase the consistency and robustness of the proposed methodology.
