19. In the case where the probe surface is clean, we must distinguish the two cases where the grain-probe friction is larger or smaller than the grain-grain friction, respectively. Having a glued grain layer on the probe corresponds to an almost infinite grain-probe friction.
20. The use of a hydrostatic pressure means that we assume the dimensions of the container to be large compared to L and R, which is always the case in our experiments. We also make the simplification not to distinguish the active and passive granular states. This is justified by the fact that the probe is immersed during fluidization of the sample.
