Jammed solids with pins: Thresholds, Force networks and Elasticity

Andy L. Zhang, Sean A. Ridout, Celia Parts +6

The role of fixed degrees of freedom in soft/granular matter systems has broad applicability and theoretical interest. Here we address questions of the geometrical role that a scaf…

Structured randomness: Jamming of soft discs and pins

Prairie Wentworth-Nice, Sean A. Ridout, Brian Jenike +2

Simulations are used to find the zero temperature jamming threshold, , for soft, bidisperse disks in the presence of small fixed particles, or "pins", arranged in a lattice. T…

Hitting the Ground Running: Computational physics education to prepare students for computational physics research

Amy Lisa Graves, Adam D. Light

Momentum exists in the physics community for integrating computation into the undergraduate curriculum. One of many benefits would be preparation for computational research. Our in…

Swimming against the tide: Gender bias in the physics classroom

Amy L. Graves, Estuko Hoshino-Browne, Kristine P. H. Lui

This study examines physics students' evaluations of identical, video-recorded lectures performed by female and male actors playing the role of professors. The results indicate tha…

Pinning Susceptibility: The effect of dilute, quenched disorder on jamming

Amy L. Graves, Samer Nashed, Elliot Padgett +3

We study the effect of dilute pinning on the jamming transition. Pinning reduces the average contact number needed to jam unpinned particles and shifts the jamming threshold to low…
