Impact of attractive interactions on the rheology of dense athermal particles

Abstract

Using numerical simulations, the rheological response of an athermal assembly of soft particles with tunable attractive interactions is studied in the vicinity of jamming. At small attractions, a fragile solid develops and a finite yield stress is measured. Moreover, the measured flow curves have unstable regimes, which lead to persistent shearbanding. These features are rationalized by establishing a link between the rheology and the inter-particle connectivity, which also provides a minimal model to describe the flow curves.
