We consider a model of an elastic manifold driven on a disordered energy landscape, with generalized long range elasticity. Varying the form of the elastic kernel by progressively allowing for the existence of zero-modes, the model…
We present the first direct experimental evidence showing that yielding of a prototypical soft solid - a colloidal glass - is a non-equilibrium 'absorbing' phase transition. By simultaneously quantifying single-particle dynamics and bulk…
We present results on a meso-scale model for amorphous matter in athermal, quasi-static (a-AQS), steady state shear flow. In particular, we perform a careful analysis of the scaling with the lateral system size, $L$, of: i) statistics of…
We study the yielding transition of a two dimensional amorphous system under shear by using a mesoscopic elasto-plastic model. The model combines a full (tensorial) description of the elastic interactions in the system, and the possibility…
By means of a finite elements technique we solve numerically the dynamics of an amorphous solid under deformation in the quasistatic driving limit. We study the noise statistics of the stress-strain signal in the steady state plastic flow,…
Glassy materials yield under large external mechanical solicitations. Under oscillatory shear, yielding shows a well-known rheological fingerprint, common to samples with widely different microstructures. At the microscale, this corresponds…
The mechanical response of isotropic elastoplastic materials containing random distributions of initially spherical voids is investigated computationally based on Fast Fourier Transform simulations. Numerical limit-analysis simulations at…
Plastic yield of amorphous solids occurs by power law distributed slip avalanches whose universality is still debated. Determination of the power law exponents from experiments and molecular dynamics simulations is hampered by limited…
Alloying metals with other elements is often done to improve the material strength or hardness. A key microscopic mechanism is precipitation hardening, where precipitates impede dislocation motion, but the role of such obstacles in…
By finding local minima of an enthalpy-like energy, we can generate jammed packings of frictionless spheres under constant shear stress $\sigma$ and obtain the yield stress $\sigma_y$ by sampling the potential energy landscape. For…
Despite extensive studies on either smooth granular-fluid flow or the solid-like deformation at the slow limit, the change between these two extremes remains largely unexplored. By systematically investigating the fluctuations of tightly…
Amorphous solids display a ductile to brittle transition as the kinetic stability of the quiescent glass is increased, which leads to a material failure controlled by the sudden emergence of a macroscopic shear band in quasi-static…
A minimal athermal model for the flow of dense disordered materials is proposed, based on two generic ingredients: local plastic events occuring above a microscopic yield stress, and the non-local elastic release of the stress these events…
Stress vs. strain fluctuations in athermal amorphous solids are an example of `crackling noise' of the type studied extensively in the context of elastic membranes moving through random potentials. Contrary to the latter, we do not have a…
The shear-modulus and yield-stress of amorphous solids are important material parameters, with the former determining the rate of increase of stress under external strain and the latter being the stress value at which the material flows in…
A nonlinear dynamical system model that approximates a microscopic Gibbs field model for the yielding of a viscoplastic material subjected to varying external stress recently reported in [1] is presented. The predictions of the model are in…
Yielding transition in isotropic soft materials under superposition of orthogonal deformation fields is known to follow von Mises criterion. However, in anisotropic soft materials von Mises criterion fails owing to preferred directions…
We numerically study yielding in two-dimensional glasses which are generated with a very wide range of stabilities by swap Monte-Carlo simulations and then slowly deformed at zero temperature. We provide strong numerical evidence that…
We propose a scaling ansatz for the elastic energy of a system near the critical jamming transition in terms of three relevant fields: the compressive strain $\Delta \phi$ relative to the critical jammed state, the shear strain $\epsilon$,…
A theoretical and numerical study of complex sliding flows of yield-stress fluids is presented. Yield-stress fluids are known to slide over solid surfaces if the tangential stress exceeds the {\it sliding yield stress}. The sliding may…
