The central problem in the study of glass-forming liquids and other glassy systems is the
understanding of the complex structural relaxation and rapid growth of relaxation times seen …

Yield stress materials flow if a sufficiently large shear stress is applied. Although such
materials are ubiquitous and relevant for industry, there is no accepted microscopic …

Dense colloidal suspensions and related glass-forming fluids show pronounced nonlinear
(non-Newtonian) flow effects, since slow internal relaxation competes with the imposed …

We study stress time series caused by plastic avalanches in athermally sheared disordered
materials. Using particle-based simulations and a mesoscopic elastoplastic model, we …

We report computer simulations of oscillatory athermal quasistatic shear deformation of
dense amorphous samples of a three-dimensional model glass former. A dynamical …

The art of making structural, polymeric, and metallic glasses is rapidly developing with many
applications. A limitation is that under increasing external strain all amorphous solids (like …

We use numerical simulations and an athermal quasistatic shear protocol to investigate the
yielding of a model colloidal gel. Under increasing deformation, the elastic regime is …

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 …

Simulations are used to determine the effect of inertia on athermal shear of amorphous two-
dimensional solids. In the quasistatic limit, shear occurs through a series of rapid …

Amorphous solids, such as glasses, have complex responses to deformations, with
substantial consequences in material design and applications. In this respect, two …
