Atomistic response of a model silica glass under shear and pressure

Rejuvenation and overaging in a colloidal glass under shear.

We report the modifications of the microscopic dynamics of a colloidal glass submitted to shear. We use multispeckle diffusing wave spectroscopy to monitor the evolution of the spontaneous slow relaxation processes after the samples have been submitted to various straining. We show that high shear rejuvenates the system and accelerates its dynamics, whereas moderate shear over-ages the system. ...

Transformation-induced plasticity and cascading structural changes in hexagonal boron nitride under high pressure and shear

Bending Analysis of Multi-Layered Graphene Sheets Under Combined Non-Uniform Shear and Normal Tractions

Bending analysis of multilayer graphene sheets (MLGSs) subjected to non-uniform shear and normal tractions is presented. The constitutive relations are considered to be non-classical based on nonlocal theory of elasticity. Based on the differential transformation method, numerical illustrations are carried out for circular and annular geometries. The effects of nano scale parameter, radius of c...
