Edwards thermodynamics of the jamming transition for frictionless packings: ergodicity test and role of angoricity and compactivity

Kun Wang, Chaoming Song, Ping Wang +1

This paper illustrates how the tools of equilibrium statistical mechanics can help to explain a far-from-equilibrium problem: the jamming transition in frictionless granular materi…

Theory of random packings

Chaoming Song, Ping Wang, Hernan A. Makse

We review a recently proposed theory of random packings. We describe the volume fluctuations in jammed matter through a volume function, amenable to analytical and numerical calcul…

Angoricity and compactivity describe the jamming transition in soft particulate matter

Kun Wang, Chaoming Song, Ping Wang +1

The application of concepts from equilibrium statistical mechanics to out-of-equilibrium systems has a long history of describing diverse systems ranging from glasses to granular m…

Jamming III: Characterizing Randomness via the Entropy of Jammed Matter

Christopher Briscoe, Chaoming Song, Ping Wang +1

The nature of randomness in disordered packings of frictional and frictionless spheres is investigated using theory and simulations of identical spherical grains. The entropy of th…

Distribution of volumes and coordination number in jammed matter: mesoscopic ensemble

Ping Wang, Chaoming Song, Yuliang Jin +2

We investigate the distribution of the volume and coordination number associated to each particle in a jammed packing of monodisperse hard sphere using the mesoscopic ensemble deve…
