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…
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…
A basis for the statistical mechanics of granular systems
Sam. F. Edwards, Jasna Brujic, Hernan A. Makse
This paper aims to justify the use of statistical mechanics tools in situations where the system is out of equilibrium and jammed. Specifically, we derive a Boltzmann equation for…
Characterization of the Micromechanics in a Compressed Emulsion System: Force Distributions
Jasna Brujic, Sam F. Edwards, Ian Hopkinson +1
The micromechanics of a variety of systems experiencing a structural arrest due to their high density could be unified by a thermodynamic framework governing their approach to 'jam…
Statistical Physics of the Jamming Transition: The Search for Simple Models
S. F. Edwards, D. V. Grinev
We investigate universal features of the jamming transition in granular materials, colloids and glasses. We show that the jamming transition in these systems has common features: s…
