Response of a Model Glass to Athermal Quasistatic Pinching

Takumi Nagasawa, Kirsten Martens, Jean-Louis Barrat +1

We numerically investigate the mechanical response of amorphous solids to localized force dipoles, referred to as pinching, using athermal quasistatic simulations of model glasses…

Nonperturbative computation of thermal conductivity based on Path Integral Monte Carlo methods

Vladislav Efremkin, Stefano Mossa, Jean-Louis Barrat +1

The calculation of thermal conductivity in insulating solids at temperatures below the Debye temperature is problematic, due to the breakdown of classical and semi-classical approa…

Mechanisms of Spatiotemporal Damage Evolution in Double Polymer Networks

Magali Le Goff, Laureano Ortellado, Jiting Tian +3

Double polymer networks exhibit a striking enhancement of toughness compared to single networks, yet the microscopic mechanisms governing stress redistribution, damage evolution, a…

Probing the Microscopic Origin of Toughness in Multiple Polymer Networks

Nicholas H. P. Orr, Magali Le Goff, Burebi Yiming +6

Multiple polymer networks, such as double-network elastomers comprising a sacrificial and a matrix network, exhibit exceptional mechanical resilience, commonly attributed to the fo…

Influence of preparation and architecture on the elastic modulus of polymer networks

Jiting Tian, Jean-Louis Barrat, Walter Kob

The elastic modulus of a polymer network depends notably on parameters such as the initial concentration of the monomers before the synthesis (), the density of the cross-…

Molecular motion at the experimental glass transition

Romain Simon, Jean-Louis Barrat, Ludovic Berthier

We propose a novel computational strategy to study the glass transition of molecular fluids. Our approach combines the construction of simple yet realistic models with the developm…
