Theory of rigidity and numerical analysis of density of states of two-dimensional amorphous solids with dispersed frictional grains in the linear response regime

Abstract

Using the Jacobian matrix, we obtain theoretical expression of rigidity and the density of states of two-dimensional amorphous solids consisting of frictional grains in the linear response to an infinitesimal strain, in which we ignore the dynamical friction caused by the slip processes of contact points. The theoretical rigidity agrees with that obtained by molecular dynamics simulations. We confirm that the rigidity is smoothly connected to the value in the frictionless limit. For the density of states, we find that there are two modes in the density of states for sufficiently small $k_T/k_N$, which is the ratio of the tangential to normal stiffness. Rotational modes exist at low frequencies or small eigenvalues, whereas translational modes exist at high frequencies or large eigenvalues. The location of the rotational band shifts to the high-frequency region with an increase in $k_T/k_N$ and becomes indistinguishable from the translational band for large $k_T/k_N$. The rigidity determined by the translational modes agrees with that obtained by the molecular dynamics simulations, whereas the contribution of the rotational modes is almost zero for small $k_T/k_N$.
