Demixing in binary mixtures with differential diffusivity at high density
Erin McCarthy, Ojan Damavandi, Raj Kumar Manna +1
Spontaneous phase separation, or demixing, is important in biological phenomena such as cell sorting. In particle-based models, an open question is whether differences in diffusivi…
Self-organized vortex phases and hydrodynamic interactions in Bos taurus sperm cells
Charles R. Packard, Shobitha Unnikrishnan, Shiva Phuyal +4
Flocking behavior is observed in biological systems from the cellular to super-organismal length scales, and the mechanisms and purposes of this behavior are objects of intense int…
Mechanical excitation and marginal triggering during avalanches in sheared amorphous solids
David Richard, Ahmed Elgailani, Damien Vandembroucq +2
We study plastic strain during individual avalanches in overdamped particle-scale molecular dynamics (MD) and meso-scale elasto-plastic models (EPM) for amorphous solids sheared in…
Searching for structural predictors of plasticity in dense active packings
Julia A. Giannini, Ethan M. Stanifer, M. Lisa Manning
In amorphous solids subject to shear or thermal excitation, so-called structural indicators have been developed that predict locations of future plasticity or particle rearrangemen…
Effective medium theory of random regular networks
Ojan Khatib Damavandi, M. Lisa Manning, J. M. Schwarz
Disordered spring networks can exhibit rigidity transitions, due to either the removal of materials in over-constrained networks or the application of strain in under-constrained o…
Avalanche dynamics in sheared athermal particle packings occurs via localized bursts predicted by unstable linear response
Ethan Stanifer, M. Lisa Manning
Under applied shear strain, granular and amorphous materials deform via particle rearrangements, which can be small and localized or organized into system-spanning avalanches. Whil…
