Universal scaling for the jamming transition
arXiv:0809.0171 · doi:10.1143/PTP.121.647
Abstract
The existence of universal scaling in the vicinity of the jamming transition of sheared granular materials is predicted by a phenomenology. The critical exponents are explicitly determined, which are independent of the spatial dimension. The validity of the theory is verified by the molecular dynamics simulation.
