Self-organization and memory formation in two-dimensional jammed deformable matter under cyclic compression
Rahul Nayak, Satyavani Vemparala, Pinaki Chaudhuri
We study the athermal mechanical response of deformable ring assemblies to quasistatic compression. Beyond jamming, further densification induces buckling of rings, resulting in ma…

The Jammed Phase of Infinitely Persistent Active Matter
M. C. Gandikota, Rituparno Mandal, Pinaki Chaudhuri +2
We study an extreme active matter system, which is essentially a dense assembly of athermal, soft and infinitely persistent active particles. Using extensive numerical simulations…

Influence of active breathing on rheology and jamming of amorphous solids: insights from microscopic and mesoscale analysis
Sayantan Ghosh, Magali Le Goff, Pinaki Chaudhuri +1
We study the flow behavior and unjamming transition in dense assemblies of actively deforming particles that periodically change size, a process that we refer to as breathing. Usin…
