Nonlinear phonon dispersion in disordered solids and non-Debye vibrational spectra
Edan Lerner, Eran Bouchbinder
All solids, whether crystalline or disordered, support elastic wave propagation with a linear dispersion relation in the long-wavelength limit. These waves, corresponding to low-fr…
Large dilatational hyperelasticity of glasses en route to cavitation failure
Pawandeep Kaur, Noam Ottolenghi, Edan Lerner +2
Materials deform elasto-plastically and fail under various loading conditions, typically quantified by the stress triaxiality, which is the ratio between the dilatational (hydrosta…
Cage Breaking Far from Equilibrium
Jared Popowski, Nico Schramma, Edan Lerner +1
Active matter can flow and yield under conditions where passive matter jams and slows down, as self-propulsion significantly modulates particle escape from local cages. How activit…
Using the force landscape of an active solid to predict plastic deformation
Tyler Hain, Edan Lerner, M. Lisa Manning
Non-active disordered solids feature quasilocalized excitations that control plasticity, similar to crystal lattice defects, and these excitations can be identified via harmonic or…
Theories of the Glass Transition Based on Local Excitations
Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Jeppe C. Dyre, Edan Lerner +1
The dramatic slowdown of dynamics in supercooled liquids approaching the glass transition remains one of the central unresolved problems in condensed matter physics. We review appr…
