A geometric approach to predicting plasticity in disordered solids
Long-Zhou Huang, Xu Yang, Min-Qiang Jiang +2
It was recently shown that vortex-like topological defects with negative winding number in the vibrational modes of a two-dimensional glass under quasistatic shear correlate strong…
Topological defects govern plasticity and shear band formation in two-dimensional amorphous solids
Xin Wang, Jin Shang, Yujie Wang +2
Understanding the fundamental mechanisms behind plastic instabilities and shear band formation in amorphous media under applied deformation remains a long-standing challenge. Lever…
Tracking shear mode dynamics across the glass transition in a 2D colloidal system
Jimin Bai, Peter Keim, Matteo Baggioli
Long-wavelength collective shear dynamics are profoundly different in solids and liquids. According to the theoretical framework developed by Maxwell and Frenkel, collective shear…
Lift force in chiral, compressible granular matter
Jarosław Pawłowski, Marcin Dudziak, Matteo Baggioli +2
Micropolar fluid theory, an extension of classical Newtonian fluid dynamics, incorporates angular velocities and rotational inertias and has long been a foundational framework for…
Stress-stress correlations in two-dimensional amorphous and crystalline solids
Jimin Bai, Long-Zhou Huang, Jin Shang +3
Stress-stress correlations in crystalline solids with long-range order can be straightforwardly derived using elasticity theory. In contrast, the `emergent elasticity' of amorphous…
