Universal energy barrier for plastic flow in a network glass
Ibrahim Ghanem, Richard Jana, Wolfram G. Nöhring +2
Shear transformations are the elementary events of plasticity in glasses and underpin many mesoscopic models of plastic flow, yet their atomic origin and energetics remain difficul…

Resolving Structural Avalanches in Amorphous Carbon with Arclength Continuation
Fraser Birks, Ibrahim Ghanem, Lars Pastewka +2
Plastic deformation in amorphous solids is carried by localized shear transformations that self-organize into avalanches. In amorphous carbon modeled with a machine-learned interat…
