Programming strain-stiffening in soft composites via structural memory near jamming
Yiqiu Zhao, Deng Pan, Yiming Pang +6
Soft composite solids, comprising discrete inclusions embedded within a compliant matrix, are emerging candidates for engineering synthetic tissues and soft robotic materials. Curr…
Observation of strain-rate softening behavior in jammed granular media
Mingchao Liu, Weining Mao, Yiqiu Zhao +4
The strain-rate sensitivity of confined granular materials has been widely explored, with most findings exhibiting rate-strengthening behaviors. This study, however, reveals a dist…
Elasticity-Controlled Jamming Criticality in Soft Composite Solids
Yiqiu Zhao, Haitao Hu, Yulu Huang +6
Soft composite solids are made of inclusions dispersed within soft matrices. They are ubiquitous in nature and form the basis of many biological tissues. In the field of materials…
Non-monotonic Rheology and Stress Heterogeneity in confined Granular suspensions
Haitao Hu, Yiqiu Zhao, Weiwei Zhao +2
We systematically investigated the impact of boundary confinement on the shear-thickening rheology of dense granular suspensions. Under highly confined conditions, dense suspension…
Microscopic Reversibility and Emergent Elasticity in Ultrastable Granular Systems
Yiqiu Zhao, Yuchen Zhao, Dong Wang +3
In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. X 12, 031021], we reported experimental observations of ``ultrastable'' states in a shear-jammed granular system subjected to small-amplitude cyclic s…
Ultra-stable shear jammed granular material
Yiqiu Zhao, Yuchen Zhao, Dong Wang +3
Dry granular materials such as sand, gravel, pills, or agricultural grains, can become rigid when compressed or sheared. At low density, one can distort the shape of a container of…
Shear jammed, fragile, and steady states in homogeneously strained granular materials
Yiqiu Zhao, Jonathan Barés, Hu Zheng +2
We study the jamming phase diagram of sheared granular material using a novel Couette shear set-up with multi-ring bottom. The set-up uses small basal friction forces to apply a vo…
Enlightening force chains: a review of photoelasticimetry in granular matter
Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Theodore A. Brzinski +10
A photoelastic material will reveal its internal stresses when observed through polarizing filters. This eye-catching property has enlightened our understanding of granular materia…
Jamming transition in non-spherical particle systems: pentagons vs. disks
Yiqiu Zhao, Jonathan Barés, Hu Zheng +4
We investigate the jamming transition in a quasi-2D granular material composed of regular pentagons or disks subjected to quasistatic uniaxial compression. We report six major find…
