Shear-induced rigidity of frictional particles: Analysis of emergent order in stress space

Shear-induced rigidity of frictional particles: Analysis of emergent order in stress space

Solids are distinguished from fluids by their ability to resist shear. In equilibrium systems, the resistance to shear is associated with the emergence of broken translational symmetry as exhibited by a nonuniform density pattern that is persistent, which in turn results from minimizing the free energy. In this work, we …
