The Jamming Transition in Granular Systems — •Matthias Sperl1, Trushant Majmudar1, Stefan Luding2, and Robert Behringer1 — 1Duke University — 2TU Delft
Recent simulations have predicted that near jamming for collections of spherical particles, there will be a discontinuous increase in the mean contact number, Z, at a critical volume fraction, φc. Above φc, Z and the pressure, P, are predicted to increase as power laws in φ−φc. In experiments using photoelastic disks we corroborate a rapid increase in Z at φc and power-law behavior above φc for Z and P. Specifically we find power-law increase as a function of φ−φc for Z−Zc with an exponent beta around 0.5, and for P with an exponent ψ around 1.1.
