Universal low-frequency vibrational modes in silica glasses
Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Chandana Mondal +2
It was recently shown that different simple models of glass formers with binary interactions define a universality class in terms of the density of states of their quasi-localized…
Unjamming of active rotators
Linda Ravazzano, Maria Chiara Lionetti, Maria Rita Fumagalli +5
Active particle assemblies can exhibit a wide range of interesting dynamical phases depending on internal parameters such as density, adhesion strength or self-propulsion. Active s…
Automatic Design of Mechanical Metamaterial Actuators
Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Francesc Font Clos +2
Mechanical metamaterials actuators achieve pre-determined input--output operations exploiting architectural features encoded within a single 3D printed element, thus removing the n…
Elementary plastic events in amorphous silica
Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Chandana Mondal +2
Plastic instabilities in amorphous materials are often studied using idealized models of binary mixtures that do not capture accurately molecular interactions and bonding present i…
Oscillatory Instabilities in 3-Dimensional Frictional Granular Matter
Silvia Bonfanti, Joyjit Chattoraj, Roberto Guerra +2
The dynamics of amorphous granular matter with frictional interactions cannot be derived in general from a Hamiltonian and therefore displays oscillatory instabilities stemming fro…
