Criticality in sheared, disordered solids. II. Correlations in avalanche dynamics

Joel T. Clemmer, K. Michael Salerno, Mark O. Robbins

Disordered solids respond to quasistatic shear with intermittent avalanches of plastic activity, an example of the crackling noise observed in many nonequilibrium critical systems.…

Criticality in sheared, disordered solids. I. Rate effects in stress and diffusion

Joel T. Clemmer, K. Michael Salerno, Mark O. Robbins

Rate-effects in sheared disordered solids are studied using molecular dynamics simulations of binary Lennard-Jones glasses in two and three dimensions. In the quasistatic (QS) regi…

Effect of Shape and Friction on the Packing and Flow of Granular Materials

K. Michael Salerno, Dan S. Bolintineanu, Gary S. Grest +4

The packing and flow of aspherical frictional particles are studied using discrete element simulations. Particles are superballs with shape that varie…

Resolving Dynamic Properties of Polymers through Coarse-Grained Computational Studies

K. Michael Salerno, Anupriya Agrawal, Dvora Perahia +1

Coupled length and time scales determine the dynamic behavior of polymers and underlie their unique viscoelastic properties. To resolve the long-time dynamics it is imperative to d…

Coating thickness and coverage effects on the forces between silica nanoparticles in water

K. Michael Salerno, Ahmed E. Ismail, J. Matthew D. Lane +1

The structure and interactions of coated silica nanoparticles have been studied in water using molecular dynamics simulations. For 5 nm diameter amorphous silica nanoparticles we s…

The effect of inertia on sheared disordered solids: Critical scaling of avalanches in two and three dimensions

K. Michael Salerno, Mark O. Robbins

Molecular dynamics simulations with varying damping are used to examine the effects of inertia and spatial dimension on sheared disordered solids in the athermal, quasistatic limit…

Avalanches in Strained Amorphous Solids: Does Inertia Destroy Critical Behavior?

K. Michael Salerno, Craig E. Maloney, Mark O. Robbins

Simulations are used to determine the effect of inertia on athermal shear of a two-dimensional binary Lennard-Jones glass. In the quasistatic limit, shear occurs through a series o…
