Deformation and Failure of Amorphous Solidlike Materials
Michael L. Falk, James S. Langer
Since the 1970's, theories of deformation and failure of amorphous, solidlike materials have started with models in which stress-driven, molecular rearrangements occur at localized…

Shear transformation zone analysis of shear reversal during granular flow
Michael L. Falk, Masahiro Toiya, Wolfgang Losert
Experimental measurements of the onset of granular flow are directly compared to predictions of the "shear transformation zone" (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity. The STZ equati…

Dynamics of Viscoplastic Deformation in Amorphous Solids
M. L. Falk, J. S. Langer
We propose a dynamical theory of low-temperature shear deformation in amorphous solids. Our analysis is based on molecular-dynamics simulations of a two-dimensional, two-component…
