Percolation of a rod-like particle in a static bed of spheres: trapping and passing
Juan C. Petit, Julio M. Ottino, Richard M. Lueptow +1
We numerically investigate percolation of independent frictionless glued-sphere rod-like particles under gravity through a disordered static bed of larger spheres. We identify two…

Vibrational similarities in jamming-unjamming of polycrystalline and disordered granular packings
Juan C. Petit, Saswati Ganguly, Matthias Sperl
We investigate the vibrational properties of polycrystalline monodisperse and disordered bidisperse granular packings during jamming and unjamming using discrete element method sim…

Additional jamming transition in 2D bidisperse granular packings
Juan C. Petit, Matthias Sperl
We present a jamming diagram for 2D bidisperse granular systems, capturing two distinct jamming transitions. The first occurs as large particles form a jammed structure, while the…
