Effect of pinning on the yielding transition of amorphous solids
Bhanu Prasad Bhowmik, Pinaki Chaudhuri, Smarajit Karmakar
Using numerical simulations, we have studied the yielding response, in the athermal quasi static limit, of a model amorphous material having inclusions in the form of randomly pinn…
Slow Relaxations of Chemically Confined Hydration Layers near Lipid Bilayers: Dynamical Heterogeneities above Supercooling
Abhinav Srivastava, Smarajit Karmakar, Ananya Debnath
A hydrated 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (DMPC) lipid membrane is investigated using an all atom molecular dynamics simulation at 308K to find out the physical sou…
Non-Gaussianity of van Hove Function and Dynamic Heterogeneity Length Scale
Bhanu Prasad Bhowmik, Indrajit Tah, Smarajit Karmakar
Non-Gaussian nature of the probability distribution of particles' displacements in the supercooled temperature regime in glass-forming liquids are believed to be one of the major h…
Do thermodynamically stable rigid solids exist?
Parswa Nath, Saswati Ganguly, Jürgen Horbach +3
Customarily, crystalline solids are defined to be {\em rigid} since they resist changes of shape determined by their boundaries. However, rigid solids cannot exist in the thermodyn…
Plastic deformation of a permanently bonded network: stress relaxation by pleats
Saswati Ganguly, Debankur Das, Jürgen Horbach +3
We show that a flat two dimensional network of connected vertices, when stretched, may deform plastically by producing `pleats'; system spanning linear structures with width compar…
