Periodic training of creeping solids
Daniel Hexner, Andrea J. Liu, Sidney R. Nagel
We consider disordered solids in which the microscopic elements can deform plastically in response to stresses on them. We show that by driving the system periodically, this plasti…
Effect of aging on the non-linear elasticity and memory formation in materials
Daniel Hexner, Nidhi Pashine, Andrea J. Liu +1
Disordered solids often change their elastic response as they slowly age. Using experiments and simulations, we study how aging disordered planar networks under an applied stress a…
Directed aging, memory and Nature's greed
Nidhi Pashine, Daniel Hexner, Andrea J. Liu +1
Disordered materials are often out of equilibrium and evolve very slowly. This allows a memory of the imposed strains or preparation conditions to be encoded in the material. Here…
Can a large packing be assembled from smaller ones?
Daniel Hexner, Pierfrancesco Urbani, Francesco Zamponi
We consider zero temperature packings of soft spheres, that undergo a jamming to unjamming transition as a function of packing fraction. We compare differences in the structure, as…
