After cold drawing and storage below glass temperature T g, the polymer glasses are shown
to display sizable retractive stress when annealed above the storage temperature but still …

We perform a systematic experimental study to investigate the velocity fluctuations in the two-
dimensional granular matter of low and high friction coefficients subjected to cyclic shear of …

We study the effect of periodic, spatially uniform temperature variation on mechanical
properties and structural relaxation of amorphous alloys using molecular dynamics …

The time evolution and spatial correlations of nonaffine displacements in deformed
amorphous solids are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The three …

Currently, a general framework explaining the fundamental dynamic transitions from solid to
fluid of mechanically probed soft materials is lacking. Now, a unifying van der Waals-like …

Different from previous modeling of self-propelled particles, we develop a method to propel
particles with a constant average velocity instead of a constant force. This constant …

Quantifying mechanical disorder in solids, either disordered crystals or glassy solids, and
understanding its range of variability are of prime importance, eg for discovering structure …

Using numerical simulations, we have studied the yielding response, in the athermal
quasistatic limit, of a model amorphous material having inclusions in the form of randomly …

We examine the collective dynamics of disks moving through a square array of obstacles
under cyclic square wave driving. Below a critical density, we find that the system organizes …

When many-particle (vortex) assemblies with disordered distribution are subjected to a
periodic shear with a small amplitude d, the particles gradually self-organize to avoid next …
