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…
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-…
Theory and Modeling of Transport for Simple Fluids in Nanoporous Materials: From Microscopic to Coarse-Grained Descriptions
Alexander Schlaich, Jean-Louis Barrat, Benoit Coasne
We present the state-of-the-art theoretical modeling, molecular simulation, and coarse-graining strategies for the transport of gases and liquids in nanoporous materials (pore size…
Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
