Shear-thinning in dense colloidal suspensions and its effect on elastic instabilities: from the microscopic equations of motion to an approximation of the macroscopic rheology
Alexandre Nicolas, Matthias Fuchs
In the vicinity of their glass transition, dense colloidal suspensions acquire elastic properties over experimental timescales. We investigate the possibility of a visco-elastic fl…
Effects of inertia on the steady-shear rheology of disordered solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Jean-Louis Barrat, Jörg Rottler
We study the finite-shear-rate rheology of disordered solids by means of molecular dynamics simulations in two dimensions. By systematically varying the damping magnitude in th…
Elastic consequences of a single plastic event: towards a realistic account of structural disorder and shear wave propagation in models of flowing amorphous solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Francesco Puosi, Hideyuki Mizuno +1
Shear transformations (i.e., localised rearrangements of particles resulting in the shear deformation of a small region of the sample) are the building blocks of mesoscale models f…
