Jammed states of frictional granular systems can be induced by shear strain at densities below the isostatic jamming density ($\phi_c$). It remains unclear, however, how much friction affects this so-called shear-jamming. Friction appears…
Discrete element numerical simulations of unsteady, homogeneous shear flows have been performed by instantly applying a constant shear rate to a random, static, isotropic assembly of identical, soft, frictional spheres at either zero or…
We experimentally investigate jamming in a quasi-two-dimensional granular system of automatically swelling particles and show that a maximum in the height of the first peak of the pair correlation function is a structural signature of the…
We study effective relaxation time of viscous hydrodynamics of strongly coupled non-conformal gauge theory plasma using gauge theory/string theory correspondence. We compute leading corrections to the conformal plasma relaxation time from…
Thermalization in an expanding parton plasma is studied within the framework of Boltzmann equation in the absence of any mean fields. In particular, we study the time-dependence of the relaxation time to the lowest order in finite…
We perform numerical simulations to examine particle diffusion at steady shear in a model granular material in two dimensions at the jamming density and zero temperature. We confirm findings by others that the diffusion constant depends on…
The jamming transition, generally manifested by a rapid increase of rigidity under compression (i.e., compression hardening), is ubiquitous in amorphous materials. Here we study shear hardening in deeply annealed frictionless packings…
Using Brownian Dynamics (BD) simulations we investigate non-equilibrium transitions of sheared colloidal films under controlled shear stress $\sigma_{\mathrm{xz}}$. In our approach the shear rate $\dot\gamma$ is a dynamical variable, which…
The ubiquitous appearance of regions of localized deformation (shear bands) in different kinds of disordered materials under shear is studied in the context of a mesoscopic model of plasticity. The model may or may not include relaxational…
Starting from the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation and employing a Chapman-Enskog like expansion for the distribution function close to equilibrium, we derive second-order evolution equations for the shear stress…
Shear-strain and shear-stress correlations in isotropic elastic bodies are investigated both theoretically and numerically at either imposed mean shear-stress $\tau$ ($\lambda=0$) or shear-strain $\gamma$ ($\lambda=1$) and for more general…
We develop a microscopic theory to analyze the phase behaviour and compute correlation functions of dense assemblies of soft repulsive particles both at finite temperature, as in colloidal materials, and at vanishing temperature, a…
We probe the relation between shear induced structural relaxation and rheology in experiments on sheared two-dimensional foams. The relaxation time, which marks the crossover to diffusive bubble motion, is found to scale non-trivially with…
By analyzing the experimental data for various glass-forming liquids and polymers, we find that non-exponentiality $\beta$ and the relaxation time $\tau$ are uniquely related: $\log(\tau)$ is an approximately linear function of $1/\beta$,…
We investigate the rheology of granular materials via molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous, simple shear flows of soft, frictional, noncohesive spheres. In agreement with previous results for frictionless particles, we observe…
We determine the form of the complex shear modulus $G^*$ in soft sphere packings near jamming. Viscoelastic response at finite frequency is closely tied to a packing's intrinsic relaxational modes, which are distinct from the vibrational…
Deep in the Earth's crust, pressure exceeds one thousand times the atmospheric pressure. Water still flows under these conditions, but experiences dramatic changes in structure and fluidity. Using combined dynamic and inelastic light…
We investigate the rheology of sheared granular materials near the jamming transition point. We numerically determine the values of the critical fraction and the exponents for the jamming transition using a finite size scaling and the…
We study the shear induced fluidization of amorphous solids subjected to external loading by investigating the relaxation dynamics of the deformed states using computer simulation. A simple shear deformation is employed at constant rate to…
The dynamics of a bi-dimensional dense granular packing under cyclic shear is experimentally investigated close to the jamming transition. Measurement of multi-point correlation functions are produced. The self-intermediate scattering…
