Stochasticity of fatigue failure times in sheared glasses
Swarnendu Maity, Pushkar Khandare, Himangsu Bhaumik +2
Fatigue failure occurs when a solid is subjected to repeated, cyclic loading. Glasses subjected to cyclic shear deformation have recently been investigated using computer simulatio…

Cyclically sheared colloidal gels: structural change and delayed failure time
Himangsu Bhaumik, James E. Hallett, Tanniemola B. Liverpool +2
We present experiments and simulations on cyclically sheared colloidal gels, and probe their behaviour on several different length scales. The shearing induces structural changes i…

Yielding in colloidal gels: from local structure to meso-scale strand breakage and macroscopic failure
Himangsu Bhaumik, Tanniemola B. Liverpool, C. Patrick Royall +1
We study creep flow and yielding of particulate depletion gels under constant shear stress, combining data on different length and time scales. We characterise the breakage of meso…
