Generic Rigidity Percolation: The Pebble Game

Jacobs, D. J., Thorpe, M. F.·1995·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The percolation of rigidity in 2D central-force networks with no special symmetries (generic networks) has been studied using a new combinatorial algorithm. We count the exact number of floppy modes, uniquely decompose the network into rigid clusters, and determine all overconstrained regions. With this information we have found that, for the generic triangular lattice with random bond dilution, the transition from rigid to floppy occurs at ${p}_{\mathrm{cen}}=0.6602\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0003$ and the critical exponents include $\ensuremath{\nu}=1.21\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.06$ and $\ensuremath{\beta}=0.18\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
