Jamming in two-dimensional packings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the existence of random close and random loose packing limits in twodimensional packings ofmonodisperse harddisks. A statisticalmechanics approach–based on several approximations to predict the probability distribution of volumes – suggests the existence of the limiting densities of the jammed packings according to their coordination number and compactivity. This result has implications for the understanding of disordered states in the disk packing problem as well as the existence of a putative glass transition in two-dimensional systems. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Critical slowing down and hyperuniformity on approach to jamming.
Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter that is poised at a critical point at which density or volume-fraction fluctuations are anomalously suppressed at infinite wavelengths. Recently, much attention has been given to the link between strict jamming (mechanical rigidity) and (effective or exact) hyperuniformity in frictionless hard-particle packings. However, in doing so, one must nece...

متن کاملMaximum entropy and the stress distribution in soft disk packings above jamming.
We show that the maximum entropy hypothesis can successfully explain the distribution of stresses on compact clusters of particles within disordered mechanically stable packings of soft, isotropically stressed, frictionless disks above the jamming transition. We show that, in our two-dimensional case, it becomes necessary to consider not only the stress but also the Maxwell-Cremona force-tile a...
متن کاملLow-frequency vibrations of soft colloidal glasses.
We conduct experiments on two-dimensional packings of colloidal thermosensitive hydrogel particles whose packing fraction can be tuned above the jamming transition by varying the temperature. By measuring displacement correlations between particles, we extract the vibrational properties of a corresponding "shadow" system with the same configuration and interactions, but for which the dynamics o...
متن کاملForce mobilization and generalized isostaticity in jammed packings of frictional grains.
We show that in slowly generated two-dimensional packings of frictional spheres, a significant fraction of the friction forces lie at the Coulomb threshold-for small pressure p and friction coefficient mu , about half of the contacts. Interpreting these contacts as constrained leads to a generalized concept of isostaticity, which relates the maximal fraction of fully mobilized contacts and cont...
