X Abstract

We calculate the distribution of interparticle normal forces P ( F ) near the glass and jamming transitions in model supercooled liquids and foams; respectively. P ( F ) develops a peak that appears near the glass or jamming transitions; whose height increases with decreasing temperature; decreasing shear stress and increasing packing density. A similar shape of P ( F ) was observed in experiments on static granular packings. We propose that the appearance of this peak signals the development of a yield stress. The sensitivity of the peak to temperature; shear stress; and density lends credence to the recently proposed generalized jamming phase diagram.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
