It has been widely accepted that the plastic events of amorphous solids after mechanical
yield belong to a highly correlated avalanche state. However, whether the plastic events …

Avalanche behaviors, characterized by power-law statistics and structural relaxation that
induces shear localization in amorphous plasticity, play an essential role in deciding the …

We present evidence of plastic avalanches in the so-called elastic regime of a glassy three
dimensional Cu 50 Zr 50 system. By means of extensive molecular Dynamics simulations …

It has been accepted that low-frequency vibrational modes are causally correlated to
fundamental plastic rearrangement events in amorphous solids, irrespective of the structural …

In model amorphous solids produced via differing quench protocols, a strong correlation is
established between local yield stress measured by direct local probing of shear stress …

When a sufficiently high stress is applied to a metallic glass, causing plastic deformation, the
material undergoes structural reconfiguration through dissipative slip avalanche events that …

Amorphous solids are ubiquitous among natural and man-made materials. Often used as
structural materials for their attractive mechanical properties, their utility depends critically on …

The response of amorphous materials to an applied strain can be continuous or instead
discontinuous if the initial configuration is very stable. We study theoretically how such a …

Under stress, bulk metallic glasses irreversibly deform through shear banding processes
that manifest as serrated flow behavior. These serration events exhibit a shock-and …

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 …
