Most studies of the RI transitions have focused on either dilute limit or very high densities well above the jamming transition point. The transition between the two limiting cases is largely unexplored. In this paper, we study the RI transition of athermal frictionless colloidal particles over a wide range of densities, with emphasis on the region below φJ, by using oscillatory sheared molecular dynamics simulation. We reveal that the nature of the RI transitions in the intermediate densities is very rich. As demonstrated by the previous work by Schreck et al. [Phys. Rev. E: Stat., Nonlinear, Soft Matter Phys., 2013, 88, 052205], there exist the point-reversible and the loop-reversible phases depending on the density and the shear strain amplitude. We find that, between the two reversible phases, a quasi-irreversible phase where the particles' trajectories are highly non-affine and diffusive. The averaged number of contacts of particles is found to characterize the phase boundaries. We also find that the system undergoes the yielding transition below but in the vicinity of φJ when the strain with a small but finite strain rate is applied. This yielding transition line matches with the RI transition line separating the loop-reversible from the irreversible phases. Surprisingly, the nonlinear rheological response called “softening” has been observed even below φJ. These findings imply that geometrical properties encoded in the sheared configurations control the dynamical transitions., ファイル公開:2020/10/14}, pages = {7557--7566}, title = {Classification of the reversible–irreversible transitions in particle trajectories across the jamming transition point}, volume = {15}, year = {2019} }
