Yielding behavior in amorphous solids has been investigated in computer simulations using
uniform and cyclic shear deformation. Recent results characterize yielding as a …

The atomic-scale structural rearrangement of glasses on applied stress is central to the
understanding of their macroscopic mechanical properties and behaviour. However …

Molecular dynamics computer simulations of a polydisperse soft-sphere model under shear
are presented. The starting point for these simulations are deeply supercooled samples far …

Experiments and simulations show that when an initially defect-free rigid crystal is subjected
to deformation at a constant rate, irreversible plastic flow commences at the so-called yield …

We present a method for computing locally varying nonlinear mechanical properties in
particle simulations of amorphous solids. Plastic rearrangements outside a probed region …

Via extensive numerical simulations, we study the fluidisation process of dense amorphous
materials subjected to an external shear stress, using a three-dimensional colloidal glass …

Using extensive nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate a glass-
forming binary Lennard-Jones mixture under shear. Both supercooled liquids and glasses …

We present a microscopic derivation of the laws of continuum mechanics of nonideal
ordered solids including dissipation, defect diffusion, and heat transport. The starting point is …

Given a spacetime background against which to observe it, a material system in motion can
be modeled discretely, as a collection of particles called 'point masses', or continuously, as a …

In complex crystals close to melting or at finite temperatures, different types of defects are
ubiquitous and their role becomes relevant in the mechanical response of these solids …
