Stick-slip instabilities in sheared granular flow: the role of friction and acoustic vibrations
Charles K. C. Lieou, Ahmed E. Elbanna, J. S. Langer +1
We propose a theory of shear flow in dense granular materials. A key ingredient of the theory is an effective temperature that determines how the material responds to external driv…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and glassy rheology
Eran Bouchbinder, J. S. Langer
Mechanically driven glassy systems and complex fluids exhibit a wealth of rheological behaviors that call for theoretical understanding and predictive modeling. A distinct feature…
Rate dependent shear bands in a shear transformation zone model of amorphous solids
M. L. Manning, E. G. Daub, J. S. Langer +1
We use Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) theory to develop a deformation map for amorphous solids as a function of the imposed shear rate and initial material preparation. The STZ fo…
Strain localization in a shear transformation zone model for amorphous solids
M. L. Manning, J. S. Langer, J. M. Carlson
We model a sheared disordered solid using the theory of Shear Transformation Zones (STZs). In this mean-field continuum model the density of zones is governed by an effective tempe…
