Energy-Conserving Contact Dynamics of Nonspherical Rigid-Body Particles

Haoyuan Shi, Christopher J. Mundy, Gregory K. Schenter +1

Understanding the contact dynamics of nonspherical particles beyond the microscale is crucial for accurately modeling colloidal and granular systems, where shape anisotropy dictate…

Shear jamming and nonlinear rheology of chocolate suspensions

Michel Orsi, Veeraj Shah, Mahesh Padmanabhan +2

We experimentally investigate the rheology of dark chocolate pastes in both industrially relevant pre-refined form and simplified model systems. Steady and oscillatory shear experi…

Particle-scale origin of quadrupolar non-affine displacement fields in granular solids

Evan P. Willmarth, Weiwei Jin, Dong Wang +4

In this work, we identify the local structural defects that control the non-affine displacement fields in jammed disk packings subjected to athermal, quasistatic (AQS) simple shear…

Magnetic Interactions between Nanoscale Domains in Correlated Liquids

Mohammadhasan Dinpajooh, Giovanna Ricchiuti, Andrew J. Ritchhart +6

The formation of nanoscale domains (NDs) in correlated liquids and the emerging collective magnetic properties have been suggested as key mechanisms governing ion transport under e…

Predicting Magnetic Janus Particle Assembly with Differential Evolution Algorithm

Eric A. McPherson, Kenneth Kroenlein, Ilona Kretzschmar

Magnetic Janus particles allow access to complex, nonlinear assembled structures that may enable interesting new magnetorheological (MR) fluids with uniquely engineered field respo…

Evolution of Adaptive Force Chains in Reconfigurable Granular Metamaterials

Sven Witthaus, Atoosa Parsa, Dong Wang +7

Under an externally applied load, granular packings form force chains that depend on the contact network and moduli of the grains. In this work, we investigate packings of variable…

Tuning the Size and Stiffness of Inflatable Particles

Nidhi Pashine, Dong Wang, Robert Baines +4

We describe size-varying cylindrical particles made from silicone elastomers that can serve as building blocks for robotic granular materials. The particle size variation, which is…

Dynamics of a Bottom-Heavy Janus Particle Near a Wall Under Shear Flow

Zohreh Jalilvand, Daniele Notarmuzi, Ubaldo M. Córdova-Figueroa +2

After our attention was brought to recent work by Pelargonio and Zaconne regarding the deviation of the white noise function for systems at very large shear, we have included the w…

The effect of stereochemical constraints on the structural properties of folded proteins

Jack A. Logan, Jacob Sumner, Alex T. Grigas +2

Proteins are composed of chains of amino acids that fold into complex three-dimensional structures. Several key features, such as the radius of gyration, fraction of core amino aci…
