Jamming of soft particles: geometry, mechanics, scaling and isostaticity
Jamming of soft particles: geometry, mechanics, scaling and isostaticity
Amorphous materials as diverse as foams, emulsions, colloidal suspensions and granular media can jam into a rigid, disordered state where they withstand finite shear stresses before yielding. Here we review the current understanding of the transition to jamming and the nature of the jammed state for disordered packings of particles …
