Reversibility and criticality in amorphous solids
The physical processes governing the onset of yield, where a material changes its shape permanently under external deformation, are not yet understood for amorphous solids that are intrinsically disordered. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations and mean-field theory, we show that at a critical strain amplitude the sizes of clusters of atoms undergoing cooperative rearrangements of displace...
متن کاملMechanical failure in amorphous solids: Scale-free spinodal criticality.
The mechanical failure of amorphous media is a ubiquitous phenomenon from material engineering to geology. It has been noticed for a long time that the phenomenon is "scale-free," indicating some type of criticality. In spite of attempts to invoke "Self-Organized Criticality," the physical origin of this criticality, and also its universal nature, being quite insensitive to the nature of micros...
متن کاملShear bands as manifestation of a criticality in yielding amorphous solids.
Amorphous solids increase their stress as a function of an applied strain until a mechanical yield point whereupon the stress cannot increase anymore, afterward exhibiting a steady state with a constant mean stress. In stress-controlled experiments, the system simply breaks when pushed beyond this mean stress. The ubiquity of this phenomenon over a huge variety of amorphous solids calls for a g...
متن کاملHidden structure in amorphous solids
Review copy ± not for distribution (pss-logo will be inserted here by the publisher) pss-‐Header will be provided by the publisher 1 Introduction The continuous random network (CRN) has become the accepted model for homogeneously disordered materials, and for good reason: such atomistic models reproduce the experimentally observed properties of the materials, including some of the finer detail...
متن کاملRelaxation in glassforming liquids and amorphous solids
The field of viscousliquid and glassysolid dynamics is reviewed by a process of posing the key questions that need to be answered, and then providing the best answers available to the authors and their advisors at this time. The subject is divided into four parts, three of them dealing with behavior in different domains of temperature with respect to the glass transition temperature, Tg,and a f...
