| Research Abstract |
Athermal disorderd materials such as granular materials behave like liquids when the density is small, while they behave like amorphous solids when the density exceeds a critical value. This transition for the rigidity is called jamming transition. The jamming transition was studied for ideal conditions. In this study, we investigate the jamming transition for general situations.
