Journal ArticleDOI
Active jamming: Self-propelled soft particles at high density
TL;DR: The model is motivated by recent in vitro experiments on confluent monolayers of migratory epithelial and endothelial cells and exhibits a liquid phase with giant number fluctuations at low packing fraction φ and high self-propulsion speed v(0) and a jammed phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freezing and phase separation of self-propelled disks
TL;DR: Numerically a model of soft polydisperse and non-aligning self-propelled particles interacting through elastic repulsion is studied, which was recently shown to exhibit active phase separation in two dimensions in the absence of any attractive interaction or breaking of the orientational symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active Vertex Model for cell-resolution description of epithelial tissue mechanics.
TL;DR: The Active Vertex Model (AVM) as discussed by the authors was proposed for cell-resolution studies of the mechanics of confluent epithelial tissues consisting of tens of thousands of cells, with a level of detail inaccessible to other methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-frequency vibrations of soft colloidal glasses.

TL;DR: V vibrational properties are very similar to those predicted for zero-temperature sphere packings and found in atomic and molecular glasses; there is a boson peak at low frequency that shifts to higher frequency as the system is compressed above the jamming transition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical mechanics framework for static granular matter
Silke Henkes,Bulbul Chakraborty +1 more
TL;DR: This work has constructed a statistical ensemble, which is distinct from the original Edwards ensemble and applies to packings of deformable grains, and presents a phenomenological mean-field theory of the jamming transition, which incorporates the mean contact number as a variable.
