Linear control theory for jammed particle systems
Erin G. Teich, Jason Z. Kim, Dani S. Bassett
Amorphous particulate matter constitutes a wide range of natural and synthetic materials. Despite this ubiquity, the way in which these systems' disordered microstructure couples t…
Local structure characterization in particle systems
Rachael S. Skye, Erin G. Teich
Many tools and techniques measure local structure in materials in contexts ranging from biology to geology. We provide a survey of those tools and metrics that are especially usefu…
Optimal Control in Soft and Active Matter
José Alvarado, Erin Teich, David Sivak +1
Soft and active condensed matter represent a class of fascinating materials that we encounter in our everyday lives -- and constitute life itself. Control signals interact with the…
The emergence of bulk structure in clusters via isotropic multi-well pair potentials
Jennifer E. Doyle, Maya M. Martirossyan, Julia Dshemuchadse +1
The mechanical, optical, and chemical properties of a wide variety of soft materials are enabled and constrained by their bulk structure. How this structure emerges at small system…
