We give a statistical-mechanical theory of stress transmission in disordered
arrays of rigid grains with perfect friction. Starting from the equations of
microscopic force and torque balance we derive the fundamental equations of
stress equilibrium. We illustrate the validity of our approach by solving the
stress distribution of a homogeneous and isotropic array.
