Shear-induced rigidity in athermal materials: A unified statistical framework
Shear-induced rigidity in athermal materials: A unified statistical framework
Recent studies of athermal systems such as dry grains and dense, non-Brownian suspensions have shown that shear can lead to solidification through the process of shear jamming in grains and discontinuous shear thickening in suspensions. The similarities observed between these two distinct phenomena suggest that the physical processes leading to …
