The plastic response of magnetoelastic amorphous solids
We address the cross-effects between mechanical strains and magnetic fields on the plastic response of magnetoelastic amorphous solids. It is well known that plasticity in nonmagnetic amorphous solids under external strain γ is dominated by the codimension-1 saddle-node bifurcation in which an eigenvalue of the Hessian matrix vanishes at γP like √ γP − γ. This squareroot singularity determines ...
متن کاملMicrostructural shear localization in plastic deformation of amorphous solids.
The shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of plastic deformation predicts that sufficiently soft, noncrystalline solids are linearly unstable against forming periodic arrays of microstructural shear bands. A limited nonlinear analysis indicates that this instability may be the mechanism responsible for strain softening in both constant-stress and constant-strain-rate experiments. The analysis ...
متن کاملConnecting Local Yield Stresses with Plastic Activity in Amorphous Solids.
In model amorphous solids produced via differing quench protocols, a strong correlation is established between local yield stress measured by direct local probing of shear stress thresholds and the plastic rearrangements observed during remote loading in shear. This purely local measure shows a higher predictive power for identifying sites of plastic activity when compared with more conventiona...
متن کاملPredicting plastic flow events in athermal shear-strained amorphous solids.
We propose a method to predict the value of the external strain where a generic amorphous solid will fail by a plastic response (i.e., an irreversible deformation), solely on the basis of measurements of the nonlinear elastic moduli. While usually considered fundamentally different, with the elastic properties describing reversible phenomena and plastic failure epitomizing irreversible behavior...
متن کاملReversible plastic events during oscillatory deformation of amorphous solids.
The effect of oscillatory shear strain on nonaffine rearrangements of individual particles in a three-dimensional binary glass is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The amorphous material is represented by the Kob-Andersen mixture at the temperature well below the glass transition. We find that during periodic shear deformation of the material, some particles undergo reversible ...
