Abstrakt:	We perform numerical simulations of repulsive, frictionless athermal disks in two and three spatial dimensions undergoing cyclic quasistatic simple shear to investigate particle-scale reversible motion. We identify three classes of steady-state dynamics as a function of packing fraction φ and maximum strain amplitude per cycle γ(max). Point-reversible states, where particles do not collide and exactly retrace their intracycle trajectories, occur at low φ and γ(max). Particles in loop-reversible states undergo numerous collisions and execute complex trajectories but return to their initial positions at the end of each cycle. For sufficiently large φ and γ(max), systems display irreversible dynamics with nonzero self-diffusion. Loop-reversible dynamics enables the reliable preparation of configurations with specified structural and mechanical properties over a broad range of φ.
