An Athermal Brittle to Ductile Transition in Amorphous Solids
Olivier Dauchot, Smarajit Karmakar, Itamar Procaccia +1
Brittle materials exhibit sharp dynamical fractures when meeting Griffith's criterion, whereas ductile materials blunt a sharp crack by plastic responses. Upon continuous pulling d…
Statistical Physics of Elasto-Plastic Steady States in Amorphous Solids: Finite Temperatures and Strain Rates
Smarajit Karmakar, Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia +1
The effect of finite temperature and finite strain rate on the statistical physics of plastic deformations in amorphous solids made of particles is investigated. We…
Time Scales in the Theory of Elasto-Plasticity of Amorphous Solids
Laurent Boue, Peter Harrowell, Smarajit Karmakar +4
Developing a macroscopic theory of elasto-plasticity in amorphous solids calls for (i) identifying the relevant macro state-variables and (ii) discriminating the different time-sca…
The Effective Temperature in Elasto-Plasticity of Amorphous Solids
Laurent Boue', H. G. E. Hentschel, Itamar Procaccia +2
An effective temperature which differs from the bath temperature is believed to play an essential role in the theory of elasto-plasticity of amorphous solids. The def…
Predictive Statistical Mechanics for Glass Forming Systems
Laurent Boue, Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia +1
Using two extremely different models of glass formers in two and three dimensions we demonstrate how to encode the subtle changes in the geometric rearrangement of particles during…
Statistical Mechanics and Dynamics of a 3-Dimensional Glass-Forming System
Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia, Jacques Zylberg
In the context of a classical example of glass-formation in 3-dimensions we exemplify how to construct a statistical mechanical theory of the glass transition. At the heart of the…
