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…
Surface Shape of Two-Dimensional Granular Piles
Bo Jin, Fang Xu, Hernan A. Makse
We study the surface shape of two-dimensional piles using experiments and a continuum theory for surface flows of granular materials (the BCRE equations). We first obtain an analyt…
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…
Thermodynamic approach to dense granular matter: a numerical realization of a decisive experiment
Hernan A. Makse, Jorge Kurchan
Years ago Edwards proposed a thermodynamic description of dense granular matter, in which the grains (the `atoms' of the system) interact with inelastic forces. The approach is int…
Tracer Dispersion in Porous Media with Spatial Correlations
Hernan A. Makse, Jose S. Andrade, H. Eugene Stanley
We analyze the transport properties of a neutral tracer in a carrier fluid flowing through percolation-like porous media with spatial correlations. We model convection in the mass…
