Hypostatic jammed packings of frictionless nonspherical particles

Kyle VanderWerf, Weiwei Jin, Mark D. Shattuck +1

We perform computational studies of static packings of a variety of nonspherical particles including circulo-lines, circulo-polygons, ellipses, asymmetric dimers, and dumbbells to…

Bidisperse and polydisperse suspension rheology at large solid fraction

Sidhant Pednekar, Jaehun Chun, Jeffrey Morris

At the same solid volume fraction, bidisperse and polydisperse suspensions display lower viscosities, and weaker normal stress response, compared to monodisperse suspensions. The r…

The response of jammed packings to thermal fluctuations

Q. Wu, T. Bertrand, M. D. Shattuck +1

We focus on the response of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictionless, bidisperse disks to thermal fluctuations, with the aim of quantifying how nonlinearities affect syste…

A constitutive model for simple shear of dense frictional suspensions

Abhinendra Singh, Romain Mari, Morton M. Denn +1

Discrete particle simulations are used to study the shear rheology of dense, stabilized, frictional particulate suspensions in a viscous liquid, toward development of a constitutiv…

Critical scaling near the yielding transition in granular media

Abram H. Clark, Jacob D. Thompson, Mark D. Shattuck +2

We show that the yielding transition in granular media displays second-order critical-point scaling behavior. We carry out discrete element simulations in the low inertial number l…

Shear-induced organization of forces in dense suspensions: signatures of discontinuous shear thickening

Sumantra Sarkar, Elan Shatoff, Kabir Ramola +3

Dense suspensions can exhibit an abrupt change in their viscosity in response to increasing shear rate. The origin of this discontinuous shear thickening (DST) has been ascribed to…
