Bridging the Gap Between Avalanche Relaxation and Yielding Rheology
Leonardo Relmucao-Leiva, Carlos Villarroel, Gustavo Düring
The yielding transition in amorphous materials, whether driven passively (simple shear) or actively, remains a fundamental open question in soft matter physics. While avalanche sta…
Self-Aligning Polar Active Matter
Paul Baconnier, Olivier Dauchot, Vincent Démery +4
Self-alignment describes the property of a polar active unit to align or anti-align its orientation towards its velocity. In contrast to mutual alignment, where the headings of mul…
Avalanche properties at the yielding transition: from externally deformed glasses to active systems
Carlos Villarroel, Gustavo Düring
We investigated the yielding phenomenon in the quasistatic limit using numerical simulations of soft particles. Two different deformation scenarios, simple shear (passive) and self…
Active Solids Model: Rigid Body Motion and Shape-changing Mechanisms
Claudio Hernández-López, Paul Baconnier, Corentin Coulais +2
Active solids such as cell collectives, colloidal clusters, and active metamaterials exhibit diverse collective phenomena, ranging from rigid body motion to shape-changing mechanis…
