Shear Banding in Amorphous Solids as a Nonlinear Screened Soft Mode Instability
Yang Fu, Yuliang Jin, Avanish Kumar +1
Shear banding is a well-known and widespread instability in strained solids: under external strain, the deformation localizes along a line in two dimensions or a plane in three dim…

Analytic theory of shear localization in amorphous solids confined by Couette geometry
Yang Fu, Yuliang Jin, Itamar Procaccia
``Couette geometry'' refers to two concentric rings in 2-dimensions (or cylinders in 3-dimensions with a medium in between). Typically the inner and outer rings (or cylinders) rota…

Long-range angular correlations of particle displacements at a plastic-to-elastic transition in jammed amorphous solids
Yang Fu, Yuliang Jin, Deng Pan +1
Understanding how a flow turns into an amorphous solid is a fundamental challenge in statistical physics, during which no apparent structural ordering appears. In the athermal limi…
