Jamming of packings of frictionless particles with and without shear
Wen Zheng, Shiyun Zhang, Ning Xu
By minimizing the enthalpy of packings of frictionless particles, we obtain jammed solids at desired pressures and hence investigate the jamming transition with and without shear.…

Shear induced solidification of athermal systems with weak attraction
Wen Zheng, Hao Liu, Ning Xu
We find that unjammed packings of frictionless particles with rather weak attraction can always be driven into solid-like states by shear. The structure of shear-driven solids evol…
