Soil granular dynamics on-a-chip: fluidization inception under scrutiny

Morgane Houssais, Charles Maldarelli, Jeffrey F. Morris

Predicting rapid and slower soil evolution remains a scientific challenge. This process involves poorly understood aspects of disordered granular matter and dense suspension dynami…

From yielding to shear jamming in a cohesive frictional suspension

Abhinendra Singh, Sidhant Pednekar, Jaehun Chun +2

Simulations are used to study the steady shear rheology of dense suspensions of frictional particles exhibiting discontinuous shear thickening and shear jamming, in which finite-ra…

The frictional force on sliding drops

Joel Koplik

The dynamic frictional force between solid surfaces in relative motion differs from the static force needed to initiate motion, but this distinction is not usually thought to occur…

Global topology of contact force networks: new insight into shear thickening suspensions

Lance E. Edens, Sidhant Pednekar, Jeffrey F. Morris +3

Highly concentrated or 'dense" particle suspensions can undergo a sharp increase in viscosity, or shear thickening, under applies stress. Understanding the fundamental features lea…

A Molecular Dynamics Study of The Translation and Rotation of Amphiphilic Janus Nanoparticles at a Vapor-Liquid Surface

Joel Koplik, Charles Maldarelli

We study the effects of heterogeneity on interfacial pinning and hydrodynamic drag using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of Janus nanospheres at a liquid/vapor interface. We co…

The jamming transition is a k-core percolation transition

Flaviano Morone, Kate Burleson-Lesser, H. A. Vinutha +2

We explain the structural origin of the jamming transition in jammed matter as the sudden appearance of k-cores at precise coordination numbers which are related not to the isostat…

Stress anisotropy in shear-jammed packings of frictionless disks

Sheng Chen, Weiwei Jin, Thibault Bertrand +2

We perform computational studies of repulsive, frictionless disks to investigate the development of stress anisotropy in mechanically stable (MS) packings. We focus on two protocol…

Microscopic origin of frictional rheology in dense suspensions: correlations in force space

Jetin E. Thomas, Kabir Ramola, Abhinendra Singh +3

We develop a statistical framework for the rheology of dense, non-Brownian suspensions, based on correlations in a space representing forces, which is dual to position space. Worki…

Jamming of Deformable Polygons

Arman Boromand, Alexandra Signoriello, Fangfu Ye +2

There are two main classes of physics-based models for two-dimensional cellular materials: packings of repulsive disks and the vertex model. These models have several disadvantages…
