Predicting Defects in Soft Sphere Packings Near Jamming Using The Force Network Ensemble
James D. Sartor, Eric I. Corwin
Amorphous systems of soft particles above jamming have more contacts than are needed to achieve mechanical equilibrium. The force network of a granular system with a fixed contact…

Mean-Field Predictions of Scaling Prefactors Match Low-Dimensional Jammed Packings
James D Sartor, Sean A. Ridout, Eric I. Corwin
No known analytic framework precisely explains all the phenomena observed in jamming. The replica theory for glass and jamming is a mean field theory which attempts to do so by wor…

Direct Measurement of Force Configurational Entropy in Jamming
James D Sartor, Eric I Corwin
Thermal fluctuations are not large enough to lead to state changes in granular materials. However, such materials do achieve reproducible bulk properties, suggesting that they are…
