Description

This data set contains the result of small simple shear deformations applied to approximately 140,000 shear-stabilized jammed packings (see [...]), focusing on contact changes, as described in [1,2,3,4].

These packings contain N=16…4096 particles with harmonic interactions, under a confining pressure p=10−7…10−2. Ensemble sizes range from 10 (N=4096) to 5000 (N=16).

In addition, a data file summarizing properties of the first contact change for each packing is provided.

Particle interactions
The simulation code minimizes the enthalpy
H=∑k2δij2+pL2

where L² is the simulation box area, p the externally applied pressure, k=1 the spring constant and

δij={Ri+Rj−|rij→|if |rij→|<Ri+Rj,0 otherwise.

During shear, the boundary conditions are changed, and the system is relaxed to the new state. The simulation uses a bisection algorithm to efficiently step towards each subsequent contact change; see [3,4] for details.

Data files
The packings are stored in HDF5 data files. For each ensemble, we provide two files: one with and one without particle positions:
•N1024~P3162e-3_shear_noparticles.h5 includes all simulation data, but omits particle positions (see below for which data is included).
•For small data sets, N1024~P3162e-3_shear.h5 contains all simulations and all particle positions
•For large data sets, N1024~P3162e-3_shear_partial.h5 contains a subset of all simulations, but with all particle positions.
•Full particle positions for all simulations are available upon request to the authors. Please contact Martin van Hecke .

All files follow the same HDF5 layout:
•Example name: N1024~P3162e-3_shear.h5 and N1024~P3162e-3_shear_noparticles.h5 ◦Packings with N=1024 particles
◦Pressure p=3.162⋅10−3

•Packings are stored in a directory structure, e.g. /N1024/P3.1620e-03/0090/SR for the packing with id 0090. ◦​This directory contains a table 'data' indicating system parameters for each simulation step:
◾boundary conditions L1 and L2 (also as L, alpha, delta)
◾pressure P,
◾strain gamma,
◾stresses s_xy (simple shear), s_xx and s_yy,
◾number of contacts Ncontacts, contact number Z and number of rattlers #rattler
◾number of changed contacts for this contact change bisection Nchanges, N+ (created), N- (broken)
◾contact number Z
◾energy U, enthalpy H and their change in the last relaxation step (dU, dH)
◾step runtime t_run (seconds), #CG, #FIRE (number of conjugate gradient and FIRE iterations)
◾path to the packing corresponding to this state (does not always exist for each state for older simulations)

◦Each state is saved in /N1024/P3.1620e-03/0090/SR/0000 (initial), /N1024/P3.1620e-03/0090/SR/0001, ...etc.
◾States are not included in the _noparticles.h5 files
◾Some files omit intermediate positions, and only store positions just before and just after a contact change.
◾The format of these directories is the same as in https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.59216.

Finally, we provide a summary file (shear_summary_cache.h5) which contains one table ('data') with properties of the first contact change of all packings. We provide the following columns:
•The variable postfix determines whether the value was calculated in the initial state (_base), just before the first contact change (_min) or just after the first contact change (_plus).
