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 interparticle 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 $P >P_c$.

We present 3D DEM simulations of jammed bidisperse granular packings to investigate their jamming density, $phi_J$, and bulk modulus, $K$, as a function of the size ratio, $delta$, and concentration of small particles, $X_{mathrm S}$. We determine th e partial and total bulk modulus for each packing and obtain a transition behavior at specific densities that depends on the compression level, thus marking the first and second transition of the system. The highest bulk modulus is found at $X^{*}_{mathrm S}(delta = 0.15) approx 0.21$ consistent with the maximum jamming density, where both particle species mix more efficiently. At extreme size ratios, $delta = 0.15$, $X^{*}_{mathrm S}$ divides two structural scenarios for $K$ that depend on whether small particles are jammed or not jointly with large ones. We find that along the second transition line, $K$ rises $20%$ compared to those found at the first transition. However, their values are still low compared to that shown at $X^{*}_{mathrm S}$. This clearly indicates that the jamming of small particles indeed impacts the internal resistance of the system for low $delta$ and low $X_{mathrm S}$. This new result will allow tuning packing bulk modulus and other properties, such as wave speed, when a specific size and concentration of small particles contribute to the jammed structure.
We present measurements of the stress response of packings formed from a wide range of particle shapes. Besides spheres these include convex shapes such as the Platonic solids, truncated tetrahedra, and triangular bipyramids, as well as more complex, non-convex geometries such as hexapods with various arm lengths, dolos, and tetrahedral frames. All particles were 3D-printed in hard resin. Well-defined initial packing states were established through preconditioning by cyclic loading under given confinement pressure. Starting from such initial states, stress-strain relationships for axial compression were obtained at four different confining pressures for each particle type. While confining pressure has the largest overall effect on the mechanical response, we find that particle shape controls the details of the stress-strain curves and can be used to tune packing stiffness and yielding. By correlating the experimentally measured values for the effective Youngs modulus under compression, yield stress and energy loss during cyclic loading, we identify trends among the various shapes that allow for designing a packings aggregate behavior.
The mechanical response of packings of purely repulsive, spherical particles to athermal, quasistatic simple shear near jamming onset is highly nonlinear. Previous studies have shown that, at small pressure $p$, the ensemble-averaged static shear mod ulus $langle G-G_0 rangle$ scales with $p^alpha$, where $alpha approx 1$, but above a characteristic pressure $p^{**}$, $langle G-G_0 rangle sim p^beta$, where $beta approx 0.5$. However, we find that the shear modulus $G^i$ for an individual packing typically decreases linearly with $p$ along a geometrical family where the contact network does not change. We resolve this discrepancy by showing that, while the shear modulus does decrease linearly within geometrical families, $langle G rangle$ also depends on a contribution from discontinuous jumps in $langle G rangle$ that occur at the transitions between geometrical families. For $p > p^{**}$, geometrical-family and rearrangement contributions to $langle G rangle$ are of opposite signs and remain comparable for all system sizes. $langle G rangle$ can be described by a scaling function that smoothly transitions between the two power-law exponents $alpha$ and $beta$. We also demonstrate the phenomenon of {it compression unjamming}, where a jammed packing can unjam via isotropic compression.

We study the vibrational modes of three-dimensional jammed packings of soft ellipsoids of revolution as a function of particle aspect ratio $epsilon$ and packing fraction. At the jamming transition for ellipsoids, as distinct from the idealized case using spheres where $epsilon = 1$, there are many unconstrained and non-trivial rotational degrees of freedom. These constitute a set of zero-frequency modes that are gradually mobilized into a new rotational band as $|epsilon - 1|$ increases. Quite surprisingly, as this new band is separated from zero frequency by a gap, and lies below the onset frequency for translational vibrations, $omega^*$, the presence of these new degrees of freedom leaves unaltered the basic scenario that the translational spectrum is determined only by the average contact number. Indeed, $omega^*$ depends solely on coordination as it does for compressed packings of spheres. We also discuss the regime of large $|epsilon - 1|$, where the two bands merge.
We show that non-Brownian suspensions of repulsive spheres below jamming display a slow relaxational dynamics with a characteristic time scale that diverges at jamming. This slow time scale is fully encoded in the structure of the unjammed packing an d can be readily measured via the vibrational density of states. We show that the corresponding dynamic critical exponent is the same for randomly generated and sheared packings. Our results show that a wide variety of physical situations, from suspension rheology to algorithmic studies of the jamming transition are controlled by a unique diverging timescale, with a universal critical exponent.
