Athermal Jamming vs Thermalized Glassiness in Sheared Frictionless Particles

arXiv:1211.2839 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.88.010301

Abstract

Numerical simulations of soft-core frictionless disks in two dimensions are carried out to study behavior of a simple liquid as a function of thermal temperature , packing fraction , and uniform applied shear strain rate . Inferring the hard-core limit from our soft-core results, we find that it depends on the two parameters and . defines the athermal limit in which a shear driven jamming transition occurs at a well defined . defines the thermalized limit where an equilibrium glass transition may take place at a . This conclusion argues that athermal jamming and equilibrium glassy behavior are not controlled by the same critical point. Preliminary results suggest .
