Jamming transition in granular media: A mean field approximation and numerical simulations
A. Fierro, M. Nicodemi, M. Tarzia +2
In order to study analytically the nature of the jamming transition in granular material, we have considered a cavity method mean field theory, in the framework of a statistical me…
Glass glass transition and new dynamical singularity points in an analytically solvable p-spin glass like model
Antonio Caiazzo, Antonio Coniglio, Mario Nicodemi
We introduce and analytically study a generalized p-spin glass like model that captures some of the main features of attractive glasses, recently found by Mode Coupling investigati…
Shear instabilities in granular mixtures
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Mario Nicodemi, Antonio Coniglio
Dynamical instabilities in fluid mechanics are responsible of a variety of important common phenomena, such as waves on the sea surface or Taylor vorteces in Couette flow. In granu…
Segregation in fluidized versus tapped packs
Marco Tarzia, Annalisa Fierro, Mario Nicodemi +1
We compare the predictions of two different statistical mechanics approaches, corresponding to different physical measurements, proposed to describe binary granular mixtures subjec…
Number of spanning clusters at the high-dimensional percolation thresholds
Santo Fortunato, Amnon Aharony, Antonio Coniglio +1
A scaling theory is used to derive the dependence of the average number <k> of spanning clusters at threshold on the lattice size L. This number should become independent of L for…
Statistical Mechanics of segregation in binary granular mixtures
M. Tarzia, A. Fierro, M. Nicodemi +2
We discuss mixing/segregation phenomena in a schematic hard spheres lattice model for binary mixtures of granular media, by analytical evaluation, within Bethe-Peierls approximatio…
