Differences in plasticity between hard and soft spheres
Contact changes in packings of sheared hard spheres invariably trigger instabilities and irreversible rearrangements, providing an archetypal scenario for plasticity of disordered media. Here we show that the plasticity of jammed soft spheres at any finite pressure follows a different scenario, with...
