It has long been thought that shear band (SB) formation in amorphous solids initiates from relatively 'soft' regions in the material in which large-scale non-affine deformations become localized. The test of this hypothesis requires an…
We study theoretically shear banding in soft glassy materials subject to large amplitude time-periodic shear flows, considering separately the protocols of large amplitude oscillatory shear strain, large amplitude square or triangular or…
The shear modulus G of two glass-forming colloidal model systems in d=3 and d=2 dimensions is investigated by means of, respectively, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. Comparing ensembles where either the shear strain gamma or…
Multiphase shear flows often show banded structures that affect the global behavior of complex fluids e.g. in microdevices. Here we investigate numerically the banding of emulsions, i.e. the formation of regions of high and low volume…
Experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies of adiabatic shear in ductile metals suggest initial defects such as pores or material imperfections increase shear-band susceptibility. Conversely, viscous effects manifesting…
Shear banding is widely observed in natural fault zones as well as in gouge layers in laboratory experiments. Understanding the dynamics of strain localization under different loading conditions is essential for quantifying strength…
We have designed 3D numerical simulations of a soft spheres model, with size polidispersity and in athermal conditions, to study the transient shear banding that occurs during yielding of jammed soft solids. We analyze the effects of…
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…
We construct a linear response theory of applying shear deformations from boundary walls in the film geometry in Kubo's theoretical scheme. Our method is applicable to any solids and fluids. For glasses, we assume quasi-equilibrium around a…
A shear band of finite length, formed inside a ductile material at a certain stage of a con- tinued homogeneous strain, provides a dynamic perturbation to an incident wave field, which strongly influences the dynamics of the material and…
Strain in sheared dense granular material is often localized in a narrow region called shear band. Recent experiments in a modified Couette cell provided localized shear flow in the bulk away from the confining walls. The non-trivial shape…
We have carried out dilatant plasticity simulations to investigate the process of failure inside a shear band. The constitutive model accounts for possibly inhomogeneous flow within the band, void rotation and void elongation. We found that…
We study the yielding behaviour of a model glass under cyclic athermal quastistatic deformation computationally, and show that yielding is characterised by the discontinuous appearance of shear bands, whose width is about ten particle…
A model of a shear band as a zero-thickness nonlinear interface is proposed and tested using finite element simulations. An imperfection approach is used in this model where a shear band, that is assumed to lie in a ductile matrix material…
The plastic deformation of amorphous solids is mediated by localized shear transformations involving small groups of particles rearranging irreversibly in an elastic background. We introduce and compare three different computational methods…
Molecular dynamics simulations frequently employ periodic boundary conditions where the positions of the periodic images are manipulated in order to apply deformation to the material sample. For example, Lees-Edwards conditions use moving…
We discuss the advantages and results of using a mixing-length, compressible model to account for shear banding behaviour in granular flow. We formulate a general approach based on two function of the solid fraction to be determined.…
Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that surfaces strongly influence the strain localization behavior of amorphous nanowires in tension. A sample preparation routine that simulates casting was employed to facilitate the relaxation of…
The influence of alternating shear orientation and strain amplitude of cyclic loading on yielding in amorphous solids is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The model glass is represented via a binary mixture that was rapidly…
We study the shear induced fluidization of amorphous solids subjected to external loading by investigating the relaxation dynamics of the deformed states using computer simulation. A simple shear deformation is employed at constant rate to…
