A Dynamical Mechanism for Irreversibility in Cyclically Driven Amorphous Solids
Sauvik Chatterjee, Asaf Szulc, Ido Regev
Amorphous solids subjected to athermal quasistatic oscillatory shear undergo a transition from periodic reversible dynamics to irreversible diffusive dynamics at yielding. How irre…

Burgers rings as topological signatures of Eshelby-like plastic events in glasses
Arabinda Bera, Ido Regev, Alessio Zaccone +1
Eshelby-like quadrupolar structures serve as the fundamental microscopic units for characterizing plastic instabilities in amorphous solids and play a crucial role in explaining th…

Microscopic origin of shear bands in 2D amorphous solids from topological defects
Arabinda Bera, Debjyoti Majumdar, Timothy W. Sirk +2
The formation of shear bands in amorphous solids such as glasses has remained an open question in our understanding of condensed matter and amorphous materials. Unlike in crystals,…
