We use computer simulations to analyze the yielding transition during large-amplitude
oscillatory shear of a simple model for soft jammed solids. Simultaneous analysis of global …

We explore numerically the shear rheology of soft repulsive particles at large volume
fraction. The interplay between viscous dissipation and thermal motion results in multiple …

We study the rheology of amorphous packings of soft, frictionless particles close to jamming.
Implementing a quasistatic simulation method we generate a well-defined ensemble of …

A fundamental problem in the physics of amorphous materials is understanding the
transition from reversible to irreversible plastic behavior and its connection to yield …

A material's response to small but finite deformations can reveal the roots of its response to
much larger deformations. Here, we identify commonalities in the responses of 2D soft …

The question of how a disordered material's microstructure translates into macroscopic
mechanical response is central to understanding and designing materials like pastes, foams …

The shear rheology of dense colloidal and granular suspensions is strongly nonlinear, as
these materials exhibit shear-thinning and shear-thickening, depending on multiple physical …

Athermal disordered systems can exhibit a remarkable response to an applied oscillatory
shear: After a relatively few shearing cycles, the system falls into a configuration that had …

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

When an amorphous solid is deformed cyclically, it may reach a steady state in which the
paths of constituent particles trace out closed loops that repeat in each driving cycle. A …
