From force distribution to average coordination number in frictional granular matter

Ping Wang, Chaoming Song, Christopher Briscoe +2

We study the joint probability distribution of normal and tangential frictional forces in jammed granular media, , for various friction coefficient , especially w…

Energy-landscape network approach to the glass transition

Shai Carmi, Shlomo Havlin, Chaoming Song +2

We study the energy-landscape network of Lennard-Jones clusters as a model of a glass forming system. We find the stable basins and the first order saddles connecting them, and ide…

Jamming II: Edwards' statistical mechanics of random packings of hard spheres

Ping Wang, Chaoming Song, Yuliang Jin +1

The problem of finding the most efficient way to pack spheres has an illustrious history, dating back to the crystalline arrays conjectured by Kepler and the random geometries expl…

Jamming in two-dimensional packings

Sam Meyer, Chaoming Song, Yuliang Jin +2

We investigate the existence of random close and random loose packing limits in two-dimensional packings of monodisperse hard disks. A statistical mechanics approach-- based on sev…

Entropy of jammed matter

Christopher Briscoe, Chaoming Song, Ping Wang +1

We investigate the nature of randomness in disordered packings of frictional spheres. We calculate the entropy of 3D packings through the force and volume ensemble of jammed matter…

Jamming I: A volume function for jammed matter

Chaoming Song, Ping Wang, Yuliang Jin +1

We introduce a "Hamiltonian"-like function, called the volume function, indispensable to describe the ensemble of jammed matter such as granular materials and emulsions from a geom…

Particle dynamics and effective temperature of jammed granular matter in a slowly sheared 3D Couette cell

Ping Wang, Chaoming Song, Christopher Briscoe +1

We report experimental measurements of particle dynamics on slowly sheared granular matter in a three-dimensional (3D) Couette cell. A closely-packed ensemble of transparent spheri…
