Elastic nonlinearities in a one-dimensional model of fracture
Eran Bouchbinder, Ting-Shek Lo
The dynamics of rapid brittle cracks is commonly studied in the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics where nonlinearities are neglected. However, recent experimental and…
The Stability of an Expanding Circular Cavity and the Failure of Amorphous Solids
Eran Bouchbinder, Ting-Shek Lo, Itamar Procaccia +1
Recently, the existence and properties of unbounded cavity modes, resulting in extensive plastic deformation failure of two-dimensional sheets of amorphous media, were discussed in…
Dynamic Failure in Amorphous Solids via a Cavitation Instability
Eran Bouchbinder, Ting-Shek Lo, Itamar Procaccia
The understanding of dynamic failure in amorphous materials via the propagation of free boundaries like cracks and voids must go beyond elasticity theory, since plasticity interven…
Fronts Propagation at the Onset of Plastic Yielding
Eran Bouchbinder, Ting-Shek Lo
The existence of a finite threshold, the yield stress, for the onset of plastic yielding is a universal feature of plasticity. This jamming-unjamming transition is naturally accoun…
Statistical Mechanics of the Glass Transition in One-Component Liquids with Anisotropic Potential
Valery Ilyin, Edan Lerner, Ting-Shek Lo +1
We study a recently introduced model of one-component glass-forming liquids whose constituents interact with anisotropic potential. This system is interesting per-se and as a model…
Free-Boundary Dynamics in Elasto-plastic Amorphous Solids: The Circular Hole Problem
Eran Bouchbinder, J. S. Langer, Ting-Shek Lo +1
We develop an athermal shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of plastic deformation in spatially inhomogeneous, amorphous solids. Our ultimate goal is to describe the dynamics of…
