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…
Gardner transition coincides with the emergence of jamming scalings in hard spheres and disks
Qi Wang, Deng Pan, Yuliang Jin
The Gardner transition in structural glasses is characterized by full-replica symmetry breaking of the free-energy landscape and the onset of anomalous aging dynamics due to margin…
Jamming is a first-order transition with quenched disorder in amorphous materials sheared by cyclic quasistatic deformations
Yue Deng, Deng Pan, Yuliang Jin
Jamming is an athermal transition between flowing and rigid states in amorphous systems such as granular matter, colloidal suspensions, complex fluids and cells. The jamming transi…
