Universal scaling of shear thickening suspensions under acoustic perturbation
Anna R. Barth, Navneet Singh, Stephen J. Thornton +7
Tuning shear thickening behavior is a longstanding problem in the field of dense suspensions. Acoustic perturbations offer a convenient way to control shear thickening in real time…
Rigidity transitions in anisotropic networks happen in multiple steps
William Y. Wang, Stephen J. Thornton, Bulbul Chakraborty +7
We study how the rigidity transition in a triangular lattice changes as a function of anisotropy by preferentially filling bonds on the lattice in one direction. We discover that t…
Universal scaling solution for a rigidity transition: renormalization group flows near the upper critical dimension
Stephen J. Thornton, Danilo B. Liarte, Itai Cohen +1
Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimension…
Jamming memory into acoustically trained dense suspensions under shear
Edward Y. X. Ong, Anna R. Barth, Navneet Singh +5
Systems driven far from equilibrium often retain structural memories of their processing history. This memory has, in some cases, been shown to dramatically alter the material resp…
Universal scaling function ansatz for finite-temperature jamming
Sean A. Ridout, Andrea J. Liu, James P. Sethna
We cast a nonzero-temperature analysis of the jamming transition into the framework of a scaling ansatz. We show that four distinct regimes for scaling exponents of thermodynamic d…
