The physics of jamming for granular materials: a review

RP Behringer, B Chakraborty - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

Mean-field theory of hard sphere glasses and jamming

G Parisi, F Zamponi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010‏ - APS
Hard spheres are ubiquitous in condensed matter: they have been used as models for
liquids, crystals, colloidal systems, granular systems, and powders. Packings of hard …

Coupled CFD–DEM simulation of fluid–particle interaction in geomechanics

J Zhao, T Shan - Powder technology, 2013‏ - Elsevier
This paper presents a coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics and Discrete Element Method
(CFD–DEM) approach to simulate the behaviour of fluid–particle interaction for applications …

Contact force measurements and stress-induced anisotropy in granular materials

TS Majmudar, RP Behringer - nature, 2005‏ - nature.com
Interparticle forces in granular media form an inhomogeneous distribution of filamentary
force chains. Understanding such forces and their spatial correlations, specifically in …

Network analysis of particles and grains

L Papadopoulos, MA Porter, KE Daniels… - Journal of Complex …, 2018‏ - academic.oup.com
The arrangements of particles and forces in granular materials have a complex organization

Marginal stability in structural, spin, and electron glasses

M Müller, M Wyart - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2015‏ - annualreviews.org
We revisit the concept of marginal stability in glasses and determine its range of applicability
in the context of an avalanche-type response to slow external driving. We argue that there is …
