Fatigue fracture mechanism of amorphous materials from a density-based coarse-grained model

Y Kurotani, H Tanaka - Communications Materials, 2022 - nature.com
Fatigue fracture is a unique failure mode of materials induced by repeated loading and is
crucial for the long-term stability of materials used in cars and aeroplanes. Fatigue is the …

Multiple transient memories in sheared suspensions: Robustness, structure, and routes to plasticity

NC Keim, JD Paulsen, SR Nagel - Physical Review E, 2013 - APS
Multiple transient memories, originally discovered in charge-density-wave conductors, are a
remarkable and initially counterintuitive example of how a system can store information …

[HTML][HTML] Reversibility, pattern formation, and edge transport in active chiral and passive disk mixtures

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
We numerically examine mixtures of circularly moving and passive disks as a function of
density and active orbit radius. For low or intermediate densities and/or small orbit radii, the …
