Surface impacts and collisions of particle-laden nanodrops

Joel Koplik

The surface impact and collisions of particle-laden nanodrops are studied using molecular dynamics computer simulations. The drops are composed of Lennard- Jones dimers and the par…

Non-monotonic flow curves of shear thickening suspensions

Romain Mari, Ryohei Seto, Jeffrey F. Morris +1

The discontinuous shear thickening (DST) of dense suspensions is a remarkable phenomenon in which the viscosity can increase by several orders of magnitude at a critical shear rate…

Stress-dependent normal mode frequencies from the effective mass of granular matter

Yanqing Hu, David L. Johnson, John J. Valenza +2

A zero-temperature critical point has been invoked to control the anomalous behavior of granular matter as it approaches jamming or mechanical arrest. Criticality manifests itself…

Adhesive Loose Packings of Small Particles

Wenwei Liu, Shuiqing Li, Adrian Baule +1

We explore adhesive loose packings of dry small spherical particles of micrometer size using 3D discrete-element simulations with adhesive contact mechanics. A dimensionless adhesi…

Statistical theory of correlations in random packings of hard particles

Yuliang Jin, James G. Puckett, Hernan A. Makse

A random packing of hard particles represents a fundamental model for granular matter. Despite its importance, analytical modeling of random packings remains difficult due to the e…

Microstructure and rheology of finite inertia neutrally buoyant suspensions

Hamed Haddadi, Jeffrey F. Morris

The microstructure and rheological properties of suspensions of neutrally buoyant hard spherical particles in Newtonian fluid under conditions of finite inertia are studied using t…

Shear thickening, frictionless and frictional rheologies in non-Brownian suspensions

Romain Mari, Ryohei Seto, Jeffrey F. Morris +1

Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid raise the viscosity and also generally give rise to a shear-rate dependent rheology. In particular, pronounced shear thickening may be obse…

Fundamental challenges in packing problems: from spherical to non-spherical particles

Adrian Baule, Hernán A. Makse

Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and engineering. However, such jammed matter states have eluded any systematic theoretical treatment due…

The statistics of frictional families

Tianqi Shen, Stefanos Papanikolaou, Corey S. O'Hern +1

We develop a theoretical description for mechanically stable frictional packings in terms of the difference between the total number of contacts required for isostatic packings of…
