Variable-cell method for stress-controlled jamming of athermal, frictionless grains
Kyle C. Smith, Ishan Srivastava, Timothy S. Fisher +1
A new method is introduced to simulate jamming of polyhedral grains under controlled stress that incorporates global degrees of freedom through the metric tensor of a periodic cell…
Conduction in jammed systems of tetrahedra
Kyle C. Smith, Timothy S. Fisher
Control of transport processes in composite microstructures is critical to the development of high performance functional materials for a variety of energy storage applications. Th…
Models for Metal Hydride Particle Shape, Packing, and Heat Transfer
Kyle C. Smith, Timothy S. Fisher
A multiphysics modeling approach for heat conduction in metal hydride powders is presented, including particle shape distribution, size distribution, granular packing structure, an…
Isostaticity of Constraints in Jammed Systems of Soft Frictionless Platonic Solids
Kyle C. Smith, Meheboob Alam, Timothy S. Fisher
The average number of constraints per particle in mechanically stable systems of Platonic solids (except cubes) approaches the isostatic limit at the jamming point…
Dopant-vacancy binding effects in Li-doped magnesium hydride
Kyle C. Smith, Timothy S. Fisher, Umesh V. Waghmare +1
We use a combination of ab initio calculations and statistical mechanics to investigate the substitution of Li+ for Mg2+ in magnesium hydride (MgH2) accompanied by the formation of…
Athermal jamming of soft frictionless Platonic solids
Kyle C. Smith, Meheboob Alam, Timothy S. Fisher
A mechanically-based structural optimization method is utilized to explore the phenomena of jamming for assemblies of frictionless Platonic solids. Systems of these regular convex…
