What Determines the Yield Stress in Amorphous Solids?
Smarajit Karmakar, Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia +1
A crucially important material parameter for all amorphous solids is the yield stress, which is the value of the stress for which the material yields to plastic flow when it is str…
Statistical Physics of the Yielding Transition in Amorphous Solids
Smarajit Karmakar, Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia
The art of making structural, polymeric and metallic glasses is rapidly developing with many applications. A limitation to their use is their mechanical stability: under increasing…
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…
Athermal Nonlinear Elastic Constants of Amorphous Solids
Smarajit Karmakar, Edan Lerner, Itamar Procaccia
We derive expressions for the lowest nonlinear elastic constants of amorphous solids in athermal conditions (up to third order), in terms of the interaction potential between the c…
Predicting plastic flow events in athermal shear-strained amorphous solids
Smarajit Karmakar, Anael Lemaitre, Edan Lerner +1
We propose a method to predict the value of the external strain where a generic amorphous solid will fail by a plastic response (i.e. an irreversible deformation), solely on the ba…
