The physics of the glass transition and amorphous materials continues to attract the attention
of a wide research community after decades of effort. Supercooled liquids and glasses have …

Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays
and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical …

There are empirical strategies for tuning the degree of strain localization in disordered
solids, but they are system-specific and no theoretical framework explains their effectiveness …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of a glass preparation
on its yielding transition under oscillatory shear. We use swap Monte Carlo to investigate a …

We study theoretically the yielding of sheared amorphous materials as a function of
increasing levels of initial sample annealing prior to shear, in three widely used constitutive …

Many soft materials yield under mechanical loading, but how this transition from solid-like
behavior to liquid-like behavior occurs can vary significantly. Understanding the physics of …

In this work, the effects of cryogenic cycling rejuvenation on the flow behavior of ZrCuAlNiAg
metallic glass (MG) in the range of relaxation region from 0.7 up to 0.9 glass transition …

Abstract “Brittle” metallic glass (MG) usually fractures catastrophically in a shattering mode
under macroscopic compression, because cleavage cracking of splitting that originates from …

We study a mean field elastoplastic model, embedded within a disordered landscape of
local yield barriers, to shed light on the behavior of athermal amorphous solids subject to …

We numerically study yielding in two-dimensional glasses which are generated with a very
wide range of stabilities by swap Monte Carlo simulations and then slowly deformed at zero …
