Local contact numbers in two dimensional packings of frictional disks
Silke Henkes, Kostya Shundyak, Wim van Saarloos +1
We analyze the local structure of two dimensional packings of frictional disks numerically. We focus on the fractions x_i of particles that are in contact with i neighbors, and sys…
Force Mobilization and Generalized Isostaticity in Jammed Packings of Frictional Grains
Kostya Shundyak, Martin van Hecke, Wim van Saarloos
We show that in slowly generated 2d packings of frictional spheres, a significant fraction of the friction forces lies at the Coulomb threshold - for small pressure p and friction…
The isotropic-nematic interface in suspensions of hard rods: Mean-field properties and capillary waves
S. Wolfsheimer, C. Tanase, K. Shundyak +2
We present a study of the isotropic-nematic interface in a system of hard spherocylinders. First we compare results from Monte Carlo simulations and Onsager density functional theo…
Theory of the isotropic-nematic transition in dispersions of compressible rods
K. Shundyak, R. van Roij, P. van der Schoot
We theoretically study the nematic ordering transition of rods that are able to elastically adjust their mutually excluded volumes. The model rods, which consist of a hard core sur…
Hard colloidal rods near a soft wall: wetting, drying, and symmetry breaking
K. Shundyak, R. van Roij
Within an Onsager-like density functional theory we explore the thermodynamic and structural properties of an isotropic and nematic fluid of hard needle-like colloids in contact wi…
Critical and non-critical jamming of frictional grains
Ellak Somfai, Martin van Hecke, Wouter G. Ellenbroek +2
We probe the nature of the jamming transition of frictional granular media by studying their vibrational properties as a function of the applied pressure p and friction coefficient…
