Strain-stiffening critical exponents of fiber networks under uniaxial deformation
Atharva Pandit, Fred C. MacKintosh, Abhinav Sharma
Disordered fiber networks exhibit a floppy to rigid mechanical phase transition as a function of connectivity. Sub-isostatically connected networks can undergo this transition via…

Microscopic strain correlations in sheared amorphous solids
Sagar Malik, L. Meenakshi, Atharva Pandit +4
We investigate spatial correlations of strain fluctuations in sheared colloidal glasses and simulations of sheared amorphous solids. The correlations reveal a quadrupolar symmetry…

Modelling of strain fields in sheared colloidal glasses using Eshelby inclusions
Atharva Pandit, Antina Ghosh, Vijayakumar Chikkadi
When amorphous solids are strained they display elastic deformation at small strain, however, beyond a critical strain they yield and begin to flow plastically. The origin of this…
