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…

Yielding versus random organization: convex absorbing transitions in soft matter

Tristan Jocteur, Kirsten Martens, Eric Bertin +1

We compare two different soft matter models, a generalized Random Organization Model (ROM) describing the stroboscopic dynamics of cyclically sheared suspensions, and an elastoplas…

Disorder-induced stress-flow misalignment in soft glassy materials revealed using multi-directional shear

Frédéric Blanc, Guillaume Ovarlez, Adam Trigui +2

Controlling the mechanical response of soft glassy materials, such as emulsions, foams, and colloidal suspensions, is key for many industrial processes. While their steady-state fl…

Protocol dependence for avalanches under constant stress in elastoplastic models

Tristan Jocteur, Eric Bertin, Romain Mari +1

Close to the yielding transition, amorphous solids exhibit a jerky dynamics characterized by plastic avalanches. The statistics of these avalanches have been measured experimentall…

Yielding is an absorbing phase transition with vanishing critical fluctuations

Tristan Jocteur, Shana Figueiredo, Kirsten Martens +2

The yielding transition in athermal complex fluids can be interpreted as an absorbing phase transition between an elastic, absorbing state with high mesoscopic degeneracy and a flo…

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…
