Jamming is glassy relaxation under constrained dynamics. This high level book is a collection of reprinted articles in the field from physicists, chemists and engineers working in the area. > 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.
