Depletion forces in athermally sheared mixtures of frictionless disks and rods in two dimensions
Depletion forces in athermally sheared mixtures of frictionless disks and rods in two dimensions
We carry out numerical simulations to study the behavior of an athermal mixture of frictionless circular disks and elongated rods in two dimensions, under three different types of global linear deformation at a finite strain rate: (i) simple shearing, (ii) pure shearing, and (iii) isotropic compression. We find that the …
