Jamming of frictional particles: A nonequilibrium first-order phase transition
We propose a phase diagram for the shear flow of dry granular particles in two dimensions based on simulations and a phenomenological Landau-theory for a nonequilibrium first order phase transition. Our approach incorporates both frictional as well as frictionless particles. The most important feature of the frictional phase diagram is …
