Abstract:
Particulate matter, such as foams, emulsions, and granular materials, attain rigidity in a dense regime: the rigid phase can yield when a threshold force is applied. The rigidity transition in particulate matter exhibits bona fide scaling behavior near the transition point. I will review our recent results regarding scaling and fluctuations near the rigidity transition in particulate matter.
