We numerically investigate the stress distribution in pastes after horizontal rotation by using an elasto-plastic model. Residual stress remains as a memory of rotation. The stress in the circumferential direction increases after the…
Experiments involving vibrating pastes before drying were performed for the purposes of controlling the crack patterns that appear in the drying process. These experiments revealed a transition in the direction of lamellar cracks from…
In the drying process of paste, we can imprint into the paste the order how it should be broken in the future. That is, if we vibrate the paste before it is dried, it remembers the direction of the initial external vibration, and the…
A possible clarification of memory effect observed in crack patterns of drying pastes [A. Nakahara and Y. Matsuo, J. Phys. Soc. Japan 74, 1362 (2005)] is presented in terms of a macroscopic elastoplastic model of isotropic pastes. We study…
We propose a model for the formation of drying cracks in a viscoplastic material. In this model, we observe that when an external force is applied to a viscoplastic material before drying, the material memorizes the effect of the force as a…
When a body is exposed to external forces large local stresses may occur at the surface because of surface roughness. Surface stress concentration is important for many applications and in particular for fatigue due to pulsating external…
The distribution of local residual stresses (threshold to instability) that controls the statistical properties of plastic flow in athermal amorphous solids is examined with an atomistic simulation technique. For quiescent configurations,…
Plastic deformation of micron-scale crystalline solids exhibits stress-strain curves with significant sample-to-sample variations. It is a pertinent question if this variability is purely random or to some extent predictable. Here we show,…
Angular channel extrusion has evolved as processes that can induce significant strengthening of the formed product through grain refinement. However, significant residual stresses are developed in the extruded product whose quantification…
Plastic materials can carry memory of past mechanical treatment in the form of internal stress. We introduce a natural definition of the vorticity of internal stress in a simple two-dimensional model of elasto-plastic fluids, which…
In soft amorphous materials, shear cessation after large shear deformation leads to structures having residual shear stress. The origin of these states and the distribution of the local shear stresses within the material is not well…
We study a one-dimensional model of a dislocation pileup driven by an external stress and interacting with random quenched disorder, focusing on predictability of the plastic deformation process. Upon quasistatically ramping up the…
The sequence of deformation bursts during plastic deformation exhibits scale-free features. In addition to the burst or avalanche sizes and the rate of avalanches the process is characterized by correlations in the series which become…
Size-dependence of plastic flow is studied by discrete dislocation dynamical simulation of systems with various numbers of interacting linear edge dislocations while the stress is slowly increased. Regions between avalanches in the…
Many interesting shapes appearing in the biological world are formed by the onset of mechanical instability. In this work we consider how the build-up of residual stress can cause a solid to buckle. In all past studies a fictitious…
We show that memory can be encoded in a model amorphous solid subjected to athermal oscillatory shear deformations, and in an analogous spin model with disordered interactions, sharing the feature of a deformable energy landscape. When…
The existence of a well defined yield stress, where a macroscopic piece of crystal begins to plastically flow, has been one of the basic observations of materials science. In contrast to macroscopic samples, in micro- and nanocrystals the…
When stressed sufficiently, solid materials yield and deform plastically via reorganization of microscopic constituents. Indeed, it is possible to alter the micro-structure of materials by judicious application of stress, an empirical pro-…
Plastic deformation in solids induced by external shear stress is of huge practical interest. Presence of local crystalline order in polycrystals, consisting of many grains, distinguishes its deformation pattern from that of amorphous…
A mesoscopic model for shear plasticity of amorphous materials in two dimensions is introduced, and studied through numerical simulations in order to elucidate the macroscopic (large scale) mechanical behavior. Plastic deformation is…
