A simple elasto-optical method has been used to measure
the normal force distribution under three-dimensional conical piles, for a range of granular materials. The method
is based on the measurement of contact diameters of
a monolayer of steel balls between the pile and an
elastomeric substrate. Experiments on sandpiles confirm the existence of counterintuitive dips in the pressure at the centre of the pile, as reported previously in the literature; the dips were also found in piles of small (ca. 180 pm diameter) glass beads. They were suppressed, however,
on increasing the glass bead diameter by a factor of
ca. 3. Variations in surface roughness were found to have little effect on the pressure profiles. The probability density function for the normal contact force was
approximately negative exponential in form.
