We find that in simulations of quasi-statically sheared frictional disks, the shear jamming transition can be characterized by an abrupt jump in the number of force bearing contacts between particles. This mechanical coordination number increases discontinuously from $Z = 0$ to $Z gtrsim d +1$ at a critical shear value $gamma_c$, as opposed to a smooth increase in the number of geometric contacts. This is accompanied by a diverging timescale $tau^*$ that characterizes the time required by the system to attain force balance when subjected to a perturbation. As the global shear $gamma$ approaches the critical value $gamma_c$ from below, one observes the divergence of the time taken to relax to a state where all the inter-particle contacts have uniformly zero force. Above $gamma_{c}$, the system settles into a state characterized by finite forces between particles, with the timescale also increasing as $gamma to gamma_{c}^{+}$. By using two different protocols to generate force balanced configurations, we show that this timescale divergence is a robust feature that accompanies the shear jamming transition.

We report experimental and computational observations of dynamic contact networks for colloidal suspensions undergoing shear thickening. The dense suspensions are comprised of sterically stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) hard sphere colloids that are spherically symmetric and have varied surface roughness. Confocal rheometry and dissipative particle dynamics simulations show that the shear thickening strength scales exponentially with the scaled deficit contact number and the scaled jamming distance. Rough colloids, which experience additional tangential and rolling constraints, require an average of 1.5 - 2 fewer particle contacts as compared to smooth colloids, in order to generate the same shear thickening strength. This is because the surface roughness enhances geometric friction in a way that the rough colloids do not experience a large change in the free volume near the jamming point. In contrast, smooth colloids must undergo significant reduction in the free volume to support an equivalent shear stress. The available free volume for different colloid roughness is related to the deficiency from the maximum number of nearest neighbors at jamming under shear. Our results further suggest that the force per contact is different for particles with different morphologies.
The phenomenon of shear-induced jamming is a factor in the complex rheological behavior of dense suspensions. Such shear-jammed states are fragile, i.e., they are not stable against applied stresses that are incompatible with the stress imposed to cr eate them. This peculiar flow-history dependence of the stress response is due to flow-induced microstructures. To examine jammed states realized under constant shear stress, we perform dynamic simulations of non-Brownian particles with frictional contact forces and hydrodynamic lubrication forces. We find clear signatures that distinguish these fragile states from the more conventional isotropic jammed states.
We report direct measurements of spatially resolved surface stresses over the entire surface of a dense suspension during discontinuous shear thickening (DST) using Boundary Stress Microscopy (BSM) in a parallel-plate rheometer. We find that large fl uctuations in the bulk rheological response at the onset of DST are the result of localized transitions to a state with very high stress, consistent with a fully jammed solid that makes direct contact with the shearing boundaries. That jammed solid like phase (SLP) is rapidly fractured, producing two separate SLPs that propagate in opposite directions. By comparing the speed of propagation of the SLPs with the motion of the confining plates, we deduce that one remains in contact with the bottom boundary, and another remains in contact with the top. These regions grow, bifurcate, and eventually interact and decay in a complex manner that depends on the measurement conditions (constant shear rate vs constant stress). In constant applied stress mode, BSM directly reveals dramatic stress fluctuations that are completely missed in standard bulk rheology.
We explain the structural origin of the jamming transition in jammed matter as the sudden appearance of k-cores at precise coordination numbers which are related not to the isostatic point, but to the sudden emergence of the 3- and 4-cores as given b y k-core percolation theory. At the transition, the k-core variables freeze and the k-core dominates the appearance of rigidity. Surprisingly, the 3-D simulation results can be explained with the result of mean-field k-core percolation in the Erdos-Renyi network. That is, the finite-dimensional transition seems to be explained by the infinite-dimensional k-core, implying that the structure of the jammed pack is compatible with a fully random network.
We investigate the mechanical response of jammed packings of repulsive, frictionless spherical particles undergoing isotropic compression. Prior simulations of the soft-particle model, where the repulsive interactions scale as a power-law in the inte rparticle overlap with exponent $alpha$, have found that the ensemble-averaged shear modulus $langle G rangle$ increases with pressure $P$ as $sim P^{(alpha-3/2)/(alpha-1)}$ at large pressures. However, a deep theoretical understanding of this scaling behavior is lacking. We show that the shear modulus of jammed packings of frictionless, spherical particles has two key contributions: 1) continuous variations as a function of pressure along geometrical families, for which the interparticle contact network does not change, and 2) discontinuous jumps during compression that arise from changes in the contact network. We show that the shear modulus of the first geometrical family for jammed packings can be collapsed onto a master curve: $G^{(1)}/G_0 = (P/P_0)^{(alpha-2)/(alpha-1)} - P/P_0$, where $P_0 sim N^{-2(alpha-1)}$ is a characteristic pressure that separates the two power-law scaling regions and $G_0 sim N^{-2(alpha-3/2)}$. Deviations from this form can occur when there is significant non-affine particle motion near changes in the contact network. We further show that $langle G (P)rangle$ is not simply a sum of two power-laws, but $langle G rangle sim (P/P_c)^a$, where $a approx (alpha -2)/(alpha-1)$ in the $P rightarrow 0$ limit and $langle G rangle sim (P/P_c)^b$, where $b gtrsim (alpha -3/2)/(alpha-1)$ above a characteristic pressure $P_c$. In addition, the magnitudes of both contributions to $langle Grangle$ from geometrical families and changes in the contact network remain comparable in the large-system limit for $P >P_c$.
