Mechanical response of packings of non-spherical particles: A case study of 2D packings of circulo-lines
J. Zhang, K. VanderWerf, C. Li +3
We investigate the mechanical response of jammed packings of circulo-lines, interacting via purely repulsive, linear spring forces, as a function of pressure during athermal, q…
Contact network changes in ordered and disordered disk packings
P. J. Tuckman, K. VanderWerf, Y. Yuan +4
We investigate the mechanical response of packings of purely repulsive, frictionless disks to quasistatic deformations. The deformations include simple shear strain at constant pac…
Jammed packings of 3D superellipsoids with tunable packing fraction, contact number, and ordering
Ye Yuan, Kyle VanderWerf, Mark D. Shattuck +1
We carry out numerical studies of static packings of frictionless superellipsoidal particles in three spatial dimensions. We consider more than different particle shapes by v…
Pressure-dependent shear response of jammed packings of spherical particles
Kyle VanderWerf, Arman Boromand, Mark D. Shattuck +1
The mechanical response of packings of purely repulsive, spherical particles to athermal, quasistatic simple shear near jamming onset is highly nonlinear. Previous studies have sho…
Hypostatic jammed packings of frictionless nonspherical particles
Kyle VanderWerf, Weiwei Jin, Mark D. Shattuck +1
We perform computational studies of static packings of a variety of nonspherical particles including circulo-lines, circulo-polygons, ellipses, asymmetric dimers, and dumbbells to…
