Inter-dependence of the volume and stress ensembles and equipartition in statistical mechanics of granular systems
Raphael Blumenfeld, Joe F. Jordan, Sam F. Edwards
We discuss the statistical mechanics of granular matter and derive several significant results. First, we show that, contrary to common belief, the volume and stress ensembles are…
Theory of strains in auxetic materials
Raphael Blumenfeld, Sam F. Edwards
Auxetic materials, or negative-Poisson's-ratio materials, are important technologically and fascinating theoretically. When loaded by external stresses, their internal strains are…
Trajectory end point distribution of a test particle in a turbulent liquid
S. F. Edwards, Moshe Schwartz
In a recent paper the mean square displacement (MSD), <R^2(T)>, of a particle carried by a turbulent liquid over time T has been shown to be proportional to T^6/5, meaning that the…
Does a particle swept by a turbulent liquid diffuse?
Moshe Schwartz, Gad Frenkel, S. F. Edwards
Since the famous 1926 paper by Richardson, the relative diffusion of two particles in a turbulent liquid has attracted a lot of interest. The motion of a single particle on the oth…
Trajectory end point distribution of a test particle in the atmosphere
S. F. Edwards, Moshe Schwartz
The classic meteorological law of diffusion in the atmosphere was given experimentally, by Richardson in 1926, whose result that the mean squared distance <R^2>=cT^3, the time cube…
Statistical Mechanics of Jammed Matter
Hernan A. Makse, Jasna Brujic, Sam F. Edwards
A thermodynamic formulation of jammed matter is reviewed. Experiments and simulations of compressed emulsions and granular materials are then used to provide a foundation for the t…
