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…
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…
