Peter Morse : Generic failure in granular packings: finding the relationship between shear and random forces

Under shear, a jammed packing of particles will break in characteristic ways and transition between mechanically stable states. One can then ask whether the signatures of failure are specific to shear, or whether they are the same in more generic perturbations. Interestingly, recent mean-field calculations suggest that in infinite dimensions, the response of a system to global shear and random forces may be equivalent. Whether or not this is true in 2D or 3D systems remains an open question. Therefore, I've developed a method for driving 2D jammed packings of disks by quasti-static persistent random forces to demonstrate that the response is similar to what is observed in athermal quasi-static shear simulations. I will also comment on how we expect the similarities to break in finite dimensions and what these results might imply for active matter systems.
