The subject of jamming and rheology is a broad and
interdisciplinary one that is generating increasing interest. This
book deals with one of the oldest unsolved problems in condensed
matter physics - that of the nature of glass transition in
supercooled liquids. Jamming and Rheology is a collection of
reprinted articles from several fields, ranging from structural
glasses to foams and granular materials. Glassy relaxation and
constrained dynamics (jamming) occur at all scales, from
microscopic to macroscopic - in the glass transition of supercooled
liquids, in fluids confined to thin films, in the structural arrest
of particles such as granular materials, and in foams which must be
driven by an applied stress in order to flow. Because jamming
occurs at the transition between where a flow occurs and where
motion stops, it is hoped that there may be a universal feature
that describes this transition in all systems. This volume shows
that the systems described above share many common phenomenological
features, and covers work done by a wide range of scientists and
technologists working in areas from physics to chemistry to
chemical and mechanical engineering.
