Emergence of linear isotropic elasticity in amorphous and polycrystalline materials
Shivam Mahajan, Joyjit Chattoraj, Massimo Pica Ciamarra
We investigate the emergence of isotropic linear elasticity in amorphous and polycrystalline solids, via extensive numerical simulations. We show that the elastic properties are co…
Designing Phononic Band Gaps with Sticky Potentials
Yuanjian Zheng, Shivam Mahajan, Joyjit Chattoraj +1
Spectral gaps in the vibrational modes of disordered solids are key design elements in the synthesis and control of phononic metamaterials that exhibit a plethora of novel elastic…
Reverse Janssen effect in narrow granular columns
Shivam Mahajan, Michael Tennenbaum, Sudhir N. Pathak +6
When grains are added to a cylinder, the weight at the bottom is smaller than the total weight of the column, which is partially supported by the lateral walls through wall/grain f…
