Reversibility and hysteresis of the sharp yielding transition of a colloidal glass under oscillatory shear
M. T. Dang, D. V. Denisov, B. Struth +2
The mechanical response of glasses remains challenging to understand. Recent results indicate that the oscillatory rheology of soft glasses is accompanied by a sharp non-equilibriu…

Free energy of sheared colloidal glasses
M. T. Dang, V. Chikkadi, R. Zargar +4
We develop a free energy framework to describe the response of glasses to applied stress. Unlike crystals, for which the free energy increases quadratically with strain due to affi…

Resolving structural modifications of colloidal glasses by combining x-ray scattering and rheology
D. V. Denisov, M. T. Dang, B. Struth +2
Glasses have liquid-like structure, but exhibit solid-like properties. A central question concerns the relation between the structure and mechanical properties of glasses, but stru…
