Jamming of soft particles: geometry, mechanics, scaling and isostaticity

M van Hecke - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Amorphous materials as diverse as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions and granular
media can jam into a rigid, disordered state where they withstand finite shear stresses …

The jamming transition and the marginally jammed solid

AJ Liu, SR Nagel - Annu. Rev. Condens. Matter Phys., 2010 - annualreviews.org
When a system jams, it undergoes a transition from a flowing to a rigid state. Despite this
important change in the dynamics, the internal structure of the system remains disordered in …
