We show that memory can be encoded in a model amorphous solid subjected to athermal
oscillatory shear deformations, and in an analogous spin model with disordered interactions …

A disordered material that cannot relax to equilibrium, such as an amorphous or glassy
solid, responds to deformation in a way that depends on its past. In experiments we train a …

We study a model amorphous solid that is subjected to repeated athermal cyclic shear
deformation. It has previously been demonstrated that the memory of the amplitudes of …

Disordered and amorphous materials often retain memories of perturbations they have
experienced since preparation. Studying such memories is a gateway to understanding this …

We show experimentally that both single and multiple mechanical memories can be
encoded in an amorphous bubble raft, a prototypical soft glass, subject to an oscillatory …

We consider the slow and athermal deformations of amorphous solids and show how the
ensuing sequence of discrete plastic rearrangements can be mapped onto a directed …

We observe nonmonotonic aging and memory effects, two hallmarks of glassy dynamics, in
two disordered mechanical systems: crumpled thin sheets and elastic foams. Under fixed …

Shearing a disordered or amorphous solid for many cycles with a constant strain amplitude
can anneal it, relaxing a sample to a steady state that encodes a memory of that amplitude …

We consider the yielding behavior of amorphous solids under cyclic shear deformation and
show that it can be mapped into a random walk in a confining potential with an absorbing …

Recent experiments and simulations of amorphous solids plastically deformed by an
oscillatory drive have found a surprising behavior—for small strain amplitudes the dynamics …
