Atomistic Framework for Glassy Polymer Viscoelasticity Across Twenty Frequency Decades
Ankit Singh, Vinay Vaibhav, Caterina Czibula +6
Glassy polymers are central to engineering applications, yet their viscoelastic response over broad frequency and temperature ranges remains difficult to characterize. We extend no…
Microscopic origin of shear bands in 2D amorphous solids from topological defects
Arabinda Bera, Debjyoti Majumdar, Timothy W. Sirk +2
The formation of shear bands in amorphous solids such as glasses has remained an open question in our understanding of condensed matter and amorphous materials. Unlike in crystals,…
Viscosity of polymer melts using non-affine theory based on vibrational modes
Ankit Singh, Vinay Vaibhav, Alessio Zaccone
Viscosity, a fundamental transport and rheological property of liquids, quantifies the resistance to relative motion between molecular layers and plays a critical role in understan…
Geometric indicators of local plasticity in glasses measured by scanning small-beam diffraction
Amelia C. Y. Liu, Huyen Pham, Arabinda Bera +7
The notion of defects in crystalline phases of matter has been extremely powerful for understanding crystal growth, deformation and melting. Many of these discontinuities in the pe…
Timescale bridging in atomistic simulations of epoxy polymer mechanics using non-affine deformation theory
Vinay Vaibhav, Timothy W. Sirk, Alessio Zaccone
Developing a deep understanding of macroscopic mechanical properties of amorphous systems which lack structural periodicity, has posed a key challenge, not only at the level of the…
Clustering of negative topological charge precedes plastic failure in 3D glasses
Arabinda Bera, Matteo Baggioli, Timothy C. Petersen +2
The deformation mechanism in amorphous solids subjected to external shear remains poorly understood because of the absence of well-defined topological defects mediating the plastic…
