Yielding behavior in amorphous solids has been investigated in computer simulations employing uniform and cyclic shear deformation. Recent results characterise yielding as a discontinuous transition, with the degree of annealing of glasses being a significant parameter. Under uniform shear, discontinuous changes in stresses at yielding occur in the high annealing regime, separated from the poor annealing regime in which yielding is gradual. In cyclic shear simulations, relatively poorly annealed glasses become progressively better annealed as the yielding point is approached, with a relatively modest but clear discontinuous change at yielding. To understand better the role of annealing on yielding characteristics, we perform athermal quasistaic cyclic shear simulations of glasses prepared with a wide range of annealing in two qualitatively different systems -- a model of silica (a network glass), and an atomic binary mixture glass. Two strikingly different regimes of behavior emerge: Energies of poorly annealed samples evolve towards a unique threshold energy as the strain amplitude increases, before yielding takes place. Well annealed samples, in contrast, show no significant energy change with strain amplitude till they yield, accompanied by discontinuous energy changes that increase with the degree of annealing. Significantly, the threshold energy for both systems correspond to dynamical crossover temperatures associated with changes in the character of the energy landscape sampled by glass forming liquids. Uniform shear simulations support the recently discussed scenario of a random critical point separating ductile and brittle yielding, which our results now associate with dynamical crossover temperatures in the corresponding liquids.
We study numerically the yielding transition of a two dimensional model glass subjected to athermal quasi-static cyclic shear deformation, with the aim of investigating the effect on the yielding behaviour of the degree of annealing, which in turn de
We report on experiments that probe the stability of a two-dimensional jammed granular system formed by imposing a quasistatic simple shear strain $gamma_{rm I}$ on an initially stress free packing. We subject the shear jammed system to quasistatic c
The question of how a disordered materials microstructure translates into macroscopic mechanical response is central to understanding and designing materials like pastes, foams and metallic glasses. Here, we examine a 2D soft jammed material under cy
Atomic correlations in a simple liquid in steady-state flow under shear stress were studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The local atomic level strain was determined through the anisotropic pair-density function (PDF). The atomic level strain ha
Considering a recently proposed model for the yielding of amorphous solids under cyclic shear deformation, we show that it can be analyzed by mapping it, in the simplest case, to a random walk in a confining potential with an absorbing boundary. The
