Scaling theory of shear-induced inhomogeneous dilation in granular matter
Prasenjit Das, H. George E. Hentschel, Itamar Procaccia
Shearing with a finite shear rate a compressed granular system results in a region of grains flowing over a compact, static assembly. Perforce this region is dilated to a degree th…
Clausal Abstraction for DQBF (full version)
Leander Tentrup, Markus N. Rabe
Dependency quantified Boolean formulas (DQBF) is a logic admitting existential quantification over Boolean functions, which allows us to elegantly state synthesis problems in verif…
Effective Forces in Thermal Amorphous Solids with Generic Interactions
Giorgio Parisi, Itamar Procaccia, Carmel Shor +1
In thermal glasses at temperatures sufficiently lower than the glass transition, the constituent particles are trapped in their cages for sufficiently long time such that their {\e…
On the protocol dependence of plasticity in ultra-stable amorphous solids
Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia, Corrado Rainone +1
While perfect crystals may exhibit a purely elastic response to shear all the way to yielding, the response of amorphous solids is punctuated by plastic events. The prevalence of t…
Scaling Theory of Giant Frictional Slips in Decompressed Granular Media
H. George E. Hentschel, Itamar Procaccia, Saikat Roy
When compressed frictional granular media are decompressed, generically a fragile configuration is created at low pressures. Typically this is accompanied by a giant frictional sli…
Force Distributions in Frictional Granular Media
V. S. Akella, M. M. Bandi, H. George E. Hentschel +2
We report a joint experimental and theoretical investigation of the probability distribution functions (pdf's) of the normal and tangential (frictional) forces in amorphous frictio…
