Living systems are composed of molecules that are synthesized by cells that use energy
sources within their surroundings to create fascinating materials that have mechanical …

Jamming occurs when objects like grains are packed tightly together (eg grain silos). It is
highly cooperative and can lead to phenomena like earthquakes, traffic jams, etc. In this …

We extend the mathematical theory of rigidity of frameworks (graphs embedded in d‐
dimensional space) to consider nonlocal rigidity and flexibility properties. We provide …

We consider the problem of characterising the generic rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in in
which each vertex is constrained to lie in a given affine subspace. The special case when …

ABSTRACT A computationally tractable method is developed and described to generate two-
dimensional networks with the aim of producing configurations for thin films (bilayers) of SiO …

Abstract rigidPy is a Python package that provides a set of tools necessary for studying
rigidity and mechanical response in elastic networks. It also includes suitable modules for …

Abstract This paper introduces Corner-Sharing Tetrahedra (CoSTs), a minimalist, constraint-
graph representation of micro-structure. CoSTs have built-in structural guarantees, such as …

We examine the correlations between rings in random network glasses in two dimensions
as a function of their separation. Initially, we use the topological separation (measured by …

Recently determined atomistic scale structures of near-two dimensional bilayers of vitreous
silica (using scanning probe and electron microscopy) allow us to refine the experimentally …

A linearly constrained framework in is a point configuration together with a system of
constraints that fixes the distances between some pairs of points and additionally restricts …
