Residual Stresses in Glasses

arXiv:1302.3914 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.215701

Abstract

The history dependence of the glasses formed from flow-melted steady states by a sudden cessation of the shear rate is studied in colloidal suspensions, by molecular dynamics simulations, and mode-coupling theory. In an ideal glass, stresses relax only partially, leaving behind a finite persistent residual stress. For intermediate times, relaxation curves scale as a function of , even though no flow is present. The macroscopic stress evolution is connected to a length scale of residual liquefaction displayed by microscopic mean-squared displacements. The theory describes this history dependence of glasses sharing the same thermodynamic state variables, but differing static properties.
