Shear-transformation-zone theory of yielding in athermal amorphous materials.
Yielding transitions in athermal amorphous materials undergoing steady-state shear flow resemble critical phenomena. Historically, they have been described by the Herschel-Bulkley rheological formula, which implies singular behaviors at yield points. In this paper, I examine this class of phenomena using an elementary version of the thermodynamic shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory, focusing...
متن کاملNonequilibrium thermodynamics of driven amorphous materials. II. Effective-temperature theory.
We develop a theory of the effective disorder temperature in glass-forming materials driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium by external forces. Our basic premise is that the slow configurational degrees of freedom of such materials are weakly coupled to the fast kinetic-vibrational degrees of freedom and therefore that these two subsystems can be described by different temperatures during d...
متن کاملEffective temperature in athermal systems sheared at fixed normal load.
We perform molecular dynamics simulations of repulsive athermal systems sheared at fixed normal load to study the effective temperature TL defined from time-dependent fluctuation-dissipation relations for density. We show that these systems possess two distinct regimes as a function of the ratio TS/V of the granular temperature to the potential energy per particle. At small TS/V, these systems ...
متن کاملAthermal shear-transformation-zone theory of amorphous plastic deformation. II. Analysis of simulated amorphous silicon.
In the preceding paper, we developed an athermal shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity. Here we use this theory in an analysis of numerical simulations of plasticity in amorphous silicon by Demkowicz and Argon (DA). In addition to bulk mechanical properties, those authors observed internal features of their deforming system that challenge our theory in important ways. W...
متن کاملAthermal nonlinear elastic constants of amorphous solids.
We derive expressions for the lowest nonlinear elastic constants of amorphous solids in athermal conditions (up to third order), in terms of the interaction potential between the constituent particles. The effect of these constants cannot be disregarded when amorphous solids undergo instabilities such as plastic flow or fracture in the athermal limit; in such situations the elastic response inc...
