Jammed Hard-Particle Packings: From Kepler to Bernal and Beyond
Understanding the characteristics of jammed particle packings provides basic insights into the structure and bulk properties of crystals, glasses, and granular media, and into selected aspects of biological systems. This review describes the diversity of jammed configurations attainable by frictionless convex nonoverlapping (hard) particles in Euclidean spaces and for that purpose it stresses i...
متن کاملUnderconstrained jammed packings of nonspherical hard particles: ellipses and ellipsoids.
Continuing on recent computational and experimental work on jammed packings of hard ellipsoids [Donev, Science 303, 990 (2004)] we consider jamming in packings of smooth strictly convex nonspherical hard particles. We explain why an isocounting conjecture, which states that for large disordered jammed packings the average contact number per particle is twice the number of degrees of freedom per...
متن کاملRelaxations and rheology near jamming.
We determine the form of the complex shear modulus G* in soft sphere packings near jamming. Viscoelastic response at finite frequency is closely tied to a packing's intrinsic relaxational modes, which are distinct from the vibrational modes of undamped packings. We demonstrate and explain the appearance of an anomalous excess of slowly relaxing modes near jamming, reflected in a diverging relax...
متن کاملA Linear Programming Algorithm to Test for Jamming in Hard-Sphere Packings
Jamming in hard-particle packings has been the subject of considerable interest in recent years. In a paper by Torquato and Stillinger [J.Phys.Chem. B, 105 (2001)], a classification scheme of jammed packings into hierarchical categories of locally, collectively and strictly jammed configurations has been proposed. They suggest that these jamming categories can be tested using numerical algorith...
متن کاملOn the jamming phase diagram for frictionless hard-sphere packings.
We computer-generated monodisperse and polydisperse frictionless hard-sphere packings of 10(4) particles with log-normal particle diameter distributions in a wide range of packing densities φ (for monodisperse packings φ = 0.46-0.72). We equilibrated these packings and searched for their inherent structures, which for hard spheres we refer to as closest jammed configurations. We found that the ...
