P Das, HA Vinutha, S Sastry - Proceedings of the National …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Self-organization, and transitions from reversible to irreversible behavior, of interacting
particle assemblies driven by externally imposed stresses or deformation is of interest in …

Jamming is a first-order transition with quenched disorder in amorphous materials sheared by cyclic quasistatic deformations

Y Deng, D Pan, Y Jin - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
Jamming is an athermal transition between flowing and rigid states in amorphous systems
such as granular matter, colloidal suspensions, complex fluids and cells. The jamming …

Discontinuous rigidity transition associated with shear jamming in granular simulations

V Babu, HA Vinutha, D Bi, S Sastry - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
We investigate the rigidity transition associated with shear jamming in frictionless, as well as
frictional, disk packings in the quasi-static regime and at low shear rates. For frictionless …

Strain-controlled critical slowing down in the rheology of disordered networks

JL Shivers, A Sharma, FC MacKintosh - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Networks and dense suspensions frequently reside near a boundary between soft (or
fluidlike) and rigid (or solidlike) regimes. Transitions between these regimes can be driven …

Criticality and marginal stability of the shear jamming transition of frictionless soft spheres

V Babu, S Sastry - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We study numerically the critical behavior and marginal stability of the shear jamming
transition for frictionless soft spheres, observed to occur over a finite range of densities …

Is friction essential for dilatancy and shear jamming in granular matter?

V Babu, D Pan, Y Jin, B Chakraborty… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
Granular packings display the remarkable phenomenon of dilatancy [1], wherein their
volume increases upon shear deformation. Conventional wisdom and previous results …
