Complex oscillatory yielding of model hard sphere glasses

Abstract

The yielding behaviour of hard sphere glasses under large amplitude oscillatory shear has been studied by probing the interplay of Brownian motion and shear-induced diffusion at varying oscillation frequencies. Stress, structure and dynamics are followed by experimental rheology and Browian Dynamics simulations. Brownian motion assisted cage escape dominates at low frequencies while escape through shear-induced collisions at high ones, both related with a yielding peak in\ $G^{\prime \prime }$. At intermediate frequencies a novel, for HS glasses, double peak in $G^{\prime \prime }$ is revealed reflecting both mechanisms. At high frequencies and strain amplitudes a persistent structural anisotropy causes a stress drop within the cycle after strain reversal, while higher stress harmonics are minimized at certain strain amplitudes indicating an apparent harmonic response.
