Avalanches in Strained Amorphous Solids: Does Inertia Destroy Critical Behavior?

Abstract

Simulations are used to determine the effect of inertia on athermal shear of a two-dimensional binary Lennard-Jones glass. In the quasistatic limit, shear occurs through a series of rapid avalanches. The distribution of avalanches is analyzed using finite-size scaling with thousands to millions of particles. Inertia takes the system to a new underdamped universality class rather than driving the system away from criticality. Scaling exponents are determined for the underdamped and overdamped limits and a critical damping that separates the two regimes. Systems are in the overdamped universality class even when most vibrational modes are underdamped.
