Assur graphs, marginally jammed packings, and reconfigurable metamaterials
Isostatic frames are mechanical networks that are simultaneously rigid and stress-free. Isostaticity itself is a powerful concept in understanding phase transitions in soft matter and designing mechanical metamaterials. We show that the contact network of marginally jammed packings approaches not on...
