Finite compressibility and strain hardening in elasto-plastic models of amorphous matter
A. Elgailani, D. Vandembroucq, C. E. Maloney
We study a mesoscopic elasto-plastic model of amorphous matter with varying dimensionless compression modulus, , where and are the compression and shear moduli. We stu…

A multi-body finite element model for hydrogel packings: Linear response to shear
Ahmed Elgailani, Craig E Maloney
We study a multi-body finite element model of a packing of hydrogel particles using the Flory-Rehner constitutive law to model the deformation of the swollen polymer network. We sh…

Anomalous softness in amorphous matter in the reversible plastic regime
Ahmed Elgailani, Damien Vandembroucq, Craig Maloney
We study an integer automaton elasto-plastic model of an amorphous solid subject to cyclic shear of amplitude . We focus on the reversible plastic regime at intermediate $Γ_0<Γ<…
