This paper focuses on the nature of jamming, as seen in two-dimensional frictional granular systems consisting of photoelastic particles. The photoelastic technique is unique at this time, in its capability to provide detailed particle-scale information on forces and kinematic quantities such as particle displacements and rotations. These experiments first explore isotropic stress states near point J through measurements of the mean contact number per particle,
Z
, and the pressure,
P
as functions of the packing fraction,
. In this case, the experiments show some but not all aspects of jamming, as expected on the basis of simulations and models that typically assume conservative, hence frictionless, forces between particles. Specifically, there is a rapid growth in
Z
, at a reasonable
which we identify with as
c
. It is possible to fit
Z
and
P
, to power law expressions in
-
c
above
c
, and to obtain exponents that are in agreement with simulations and models. However, the experiments differ from theory on several points, as typified by the rounding that is observed in
Z
and
P
near
c
. The application of shear to these same 2D granular systems leads to phenomena that are qualitatively different from the standard picture of jamming. In particular, there is a range of packing fractions below
c
, where the application of shear strain at constant
leads to jammed stress-anisotropic states,
i.e.
they have a non-zero shear stress,
τ
. The application of shear strain to an initially isotropically compressed (hence jammed) state, does not lead to an unjammed state
per se
. Rather, shear strain at constant
first leads to an increase of both
τ
and
P
. Additional strain leads to a succession of jammed states interspersed with relatively localized failures of the force network leading to other stress-anisotropic states that are jammed at typically somewhat lower stress. The locus of jammed states requires a state space that involves not only
and
τ
, but also
P
.
P
,
τ
, and
Z
are all hysteretic functions of shear strain for fixed
. However, we find that both
P
and
τ
are roughly linear functions of
Z
for strains large enough to jam the system. This implies that these shear-jammed states satisfy a Coulomb like-relation, |
τ
| =
μP
.
This article contrasts experiments on isotropic and anisotropic states for frictional particles near jamming; shear-strain-induced jammed anisotropic states exist at densities below those where isotropic jamming is detected.
