Aging and configurational memories at rough frictional interfaces

Kasra Farain, Daniel Bonn

Frictional interfaces retain distinct memories of how they were sheared and how long they have rested, yet rate-and-state descriptions typically compress these histories into a sin…

Anomalous Creep as a Precursor to Failure in Granular Materials

Kasra Farain, Daniel Bonn

Granular materials, composed of discrete solid grains, can be modeled as simple mechanical systems. However, these materials can undergo spontaneous slow deformation, or creep, eve…

Structural Relaxation in Simple Yield Stress Materials Influences Their Rheology

Kasra Farain, Daniel Bonn

Simple yield stress materials are composed of soft particles, bubbles, or droplets with purely repulsive forces. The constituent elements are typically too large to undergo thermal…

Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions

Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37

Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…

Thermal properties of athermal granular materials

Kasra Farain, Daniel Bonn

Dry granular materials consist of a vast ensemble of discrete solid particles, interacting through complex frictional forces at the contact points. The particles are so large that…
