Shear-induced overaging in a polymer glass
Matthew L. Wallace, Bela Joos
A phenomenon recently coined as ``overaging'' implies a slowdown in the collective (slow) relaxation modes of a glass when a transient shear strain is imposed. We are able to repro…

The rigidity transition in polymer melts with van der Waals interactions
Matthew L. Wallace, Bela Joos, Michael Plischke
We study the onset of rigidity near the glass transition (GT) in a short-chain polymer melt modelled by a bead-spring model, where all beads interact with Lennard-Jones potentials.…
