Universal and non-universal features in coarse-grained models of flow in disordered solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Kirsten Martens, Lydéric Bocquet +1
We study the two-dimensional (2D) shear flow of amorphous solids within variants of an elastoplastic model, paying particular attention to spatial correlations and time fluctuation…
Spatiotemporal correlations between plastic events in the shear flow of athermal amorphous solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Joerg Rottler, Jean-Louis Barrat
The slow flow of amorphous solids exhibits striking heterogeneities: swift localised particle rearrangements take place in the midst of a more or less homogeneously deforming mediu…
Rheology of athermal amorphous solids: Revisiting simplified scenarios and the concept of mechanical noise temperature
Alexandre Nicolas, Kirsten Martens, Jean-Louis Barrat
We study the rheology of amorphous solids in the limit of negligible thermal fluctuations. On the basis of general arguments, the flow curve is shown to result from an interplay be…
