Mechanical Response of Foams: Elasticity, Plasticity, and Rearrangements
I
Although jammed packings are not strictly linear, they are still effectively linear.
Chapter 2 of this thesis
.
II
Strictly linear response predicts its own demise.
Chapter 2 of this thesis
.
III
Every rearrangement involves contact changes, but not every contact change is a rearrangement.
Chapter 3 of this thesis
.
IV
Localized rearrangements cannot describe the behavior of foams at low densities.
Chapter 4 of this thesis
.
V
The behavior of a jammed packing is governed by exceptional contacts rather than typical contacts.

VI
Reporting averages without discussing the underlying distributions is confusing at best, misleading at worst.

VII
Quasi-static deformations are ill-defined below jamming.
Schreck et al., Phys. Rev. E 88, 052 205 (2013)
.
VIII
Jammed packings require a large number of irreversible events before finally yielding.
