Abstract
Jamming/un-jamming, the transition between solid- and fluid-like behavior in granular matter, is an ubiquitous phenomenon in need of a sound understanding. As argued here, in addition to the usual un-jamming by vanishing pressure due to a decrease of density, there is also yield (plastic rearrangements and un-jamming that occur) if, e.g., for given pressure, the shear stress becomes too large. Similar to the van der Waals transition between vapor and water, or the critical current in superconductors, we believe that one mechanism causing yield is by the loss of the energy’s convexity (causing irreversible re-arrangements of the micro-structure, either locally or globally). We focus on this mechanism in the context of granular solid hydrodynamics (GSH), generalized for very soft materials, i.e., large elastic deformations, employing it in an over-simplified (bottom-up) fashion by setting as many parameters as possible to constant. Also, we complemented/completed GSH by using various insights/observations from particle simulations and calibrating some of the theoretical parameters—both continuum and particle points of view are reviewed in the context of the research developments during the last few years. Any other energy-based elastic-plastic theory that is properly calibrated (top-down), by experimental or numerical data, would describe granular solids. But only if it would cover granular gas, fluid, and solid states simultaneously (as GSH does) could it follow the system transitions and evolution through all states into un-jammed, possibly dynamic/collisional states—and back to elastically stable ones. We show how the un-jamming dynamics starts off, unfolds, develops, and ends. We follow the system through various deformation modes: transitions, yielding, un-jamming and jamming, both analytically and numerically and bring together the material point continuum model with particle simulations, quantitatively.
