Shear yielding and shear jamming of dense hard sphere glasses
Pierfrancesco Urbani, Francesco Zamponi
We investigate the response of dense hard sphere glasses to a shear strain, in a wide range of pressures ranging from the glass transition to the infinite-pressure jamming point. T…
Glass and Jamming Transitions: From Exact Results to Finite-Dimensional Descriptions
Patrick Charbonneau, Jorge Kurchan, Giorgio Parisi +2
Despite decades of work, gaining a first-principle understanding of amorphous materials remains an extremely challenging problem. However, recent theoretical breakthroughs have led…
Breakdown of Elasticity in Amorphous Solids
Giulio Biroli, Pierfrancesco Urbani
What characterises a solid is its way to respond to external stresses. Ordered solids, such crystals, display an elastic regime followed by a plastic one, both well understood micr…
