Shear flow of angular grains: acoustic effects and non-monotonic rate dependence of volume
Charles K. C. Lieou, Ahmed E. Elbanna, J. S. Langer +1
Naturally-occurring granular materials often consist of angular particles whose shape and frictional characteristics may have important implications on macroscopic flow rheology. I…
Theories of Glass Formation and the Glass Transition
J. S. Langer
This key-issues review is a plea for a new focus on simpler and more realistic models of glass-forming fluids. It seems to me that we have too often been led astray by sophisticate…
Ising Model of a Glass Transition
J. S. Langer
Numerical simulations by Tanaka and coworkers indicate that glass forming systems of moderately polydisperse hard-core particles, in both two and three dimensions, exhibit divergin…
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics in sheared hard-sphere materials
Charles K. C. Lieou, J. S. Langer
We combine the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity with Edwards' statistical theory of granular materials to describe shear flow in a disordered system o…
Shear-Transformation-Zone Theory of Viscosity, Diffusion, and Stretched Exponential Relaxation in Amorphous Solids
J. S. Langer
The shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory has been remarkably successful in accounting for broadly peaked, frequency-dependent, viscoelastic responses of amorphous systems near th…
Shear-Transformation-Zone Theory of Glassy Diffusion, Stretched Exponentials, and the Stokes-Einstein Relation
J. S. Langer
The success of the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory in accounting for broadly peaked, frequency-dependent, glassy viscoelastic response functions is based on the theory's fir…
