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…
Disordered Solids Without Well-Defined Transverse Phonons: The Nature of Hard Sphere Glasses
Xipeng Wang, Wen Zheng, Lijin Wang +1
We probe the Ioffe-Regel limits of glasses with repulsions near the zero-temperature jamming transition by measuring the dynamical structure factors. At zero temperature, the trans…
Signatures of shear thinning-thickening transition in dense athermal shear flows
Wen Zheng, Yu Shi, Ning Xu
In non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of dense athermal shear flows, we observe the transition from shear thinning to shear thickening at a crossover shear rate $\dotγ_…
