Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

Hyperuniform states of matter are correlated systems that are characterized by an
anomalous suppression of long-wavelength (ie, large-length-scale) density fluctuations …

We present a systematic numerical investigation of the shear strength and structure of
granular packings composed of irregular polyhedral particles. The angularity of the particles …

The thermodynamics and phase structure of the Polyakov loop-extended two-flavor chiral
quark-meson (PQM) model are explored beyond the mean-field approximation. The analysis …

We generate maximally random jammed (MRJ) packings of the four nontiling Platonic solids
(tetrahedra, octahedra, dodecahedra, and icosahedra) using the adaptive-shrinking-cell …

In this study, an efficient and robust GPGPU (general purpose graphic processing unit)-
parallelized algorithm is proposed for contact force calculation for the three-dimensional …

We present a detailed analysis of the morphology of granular systems composed of
frictionless pentagonal particles by varying systematically both the size span and particle …

We construct matrix models for the deconfining phase transition in SU (N) gauge theories,
without dynamical quarks, at a nonzero temperature T. We generalize models with zero and …

This paper analyzes the compaction behavior of assemblies composed of soft (elastic)
spherical particles beyond the jammed state, using three-dimensional non-smooth contact …

We prepare packings of frictional tetrahedra with volume fractions ϕ ranging from 0.469 to
0.622 using three different experimental protocols under isobaric conditions. Analysis via x …
