Merons Mediate Re-Ordering of Curved Rods Under Shear Flow
Nicholas W. Hackney, Joel T. Clemmer, Thomas O'Connor +1
Bent-core liquid crystals are a canonical example of a soft matter system whose behavior is controlled by a local preference for order that cannot be universally achieved. This geo…
Shear and crystallization in deformable granular packings: why don't auxetics order?
Joel T. Clemmer, Nicholas W. Hackney, Gary S. Grest
Shear of three-dimensional, highly compressed granular packings is simulated using a bonded particle approach that explicitly resolves elastic deformation. Varying Poisson's ratio…
Reverse segregation and self-organization in inclined chute flows of bidisperse granular mixtures
Joseph M. Monti, Joel T. Clemmer, Ishan Srivastava +3
In the usual segregation scenario for stable inclined chute flows of bidisperse mixtures of fine and coarse spherical particles, coarse particles rise toward the free surface, form…
Emergence of Intermediate Range Order in Jammed Packings
Joseph M. Monti, Ishan Srivastava, Leonardo E. Silbert +3
We perform a structural analysis of large scale jammed packings of monodisperse, frictionless and frictional spheres to elucidate structural signatures of the static structure fact…
