Hard discs under steady shear: comparison of Brownian dynamics simulations and mode coupling theory
arXiv:1001.3342 · doi:10.1098/rsta.2009.0191
Abstract
Brownian dynamics simulations of bidisperse hard discs moving in two dimensions in a given steady and homogeneous shear flow are presented close to and above the glasstransition density. The stationary structure functions and stresses of shear-melted glass are compared quantitatively to parameter-free numerical calculations of monodisperse hard discs using mode coupling theory within the integration through transients framework. Theory qualitatively explains the properties of the yielding glass but quantitatively overestimatesthe shear-driven stresses and structural anisotropies.
