Jamming transitions transform fluid-like particle systems into amorphous solids with finite yield stress when the particle packing fraction ϕ increases beyond a critical value, ϕ J. In the standard ...

Figure 1: Revealing shear thickening by adding surfactant to hydrophobic glass spheres in water. Figure 2: Using magnetic and electric fields to tune the interplay between shear thickening and the ...

Jointing is a basic function of engineering. For example, bolting two parts together can involve material properties and loading forces. Here, we will focus on preloading, shear and tear-out in a ...
