Reversible to irreversible (R-IR) transitions arise in numerous periodically driven collectively
interacting systems that, after a certain number of driving cycles, organize into a reversible …

Recent experiments and simulations of amorphous solids plastically deformed by an
oscillatory drive have found a surprising behavior—for small strain amplitudes the dynamics …

When subject to cyclic forcing, amorphous solids can reach periodic, repetitive states, where
the system behaves plastically, but the particles return to their initial positions after one or …

The structural relaxation, potential energy states, and mechanical properties of a model
glass subjected to thermal cycling are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations …

Solids deform and fluids flow, but soft glassy materials, such as emulsions, foams,
suspensions, and pastes, exhibit an intricate mix of solid-and liquid-like behavior. While …

Amorphous solids, such as metallic, polymeric, and colloidal glasses, display complex
spatiotemporal response to applied deformations. In contrast to crystalline solids, during …

The behavior of shear-oscillated amorphous materials is studied using a coarse-grained
model. Samples are prepared at different degrees of annealing and then subjected to …

The yielding transition, structural relaxation, and mechanical properties of metallic glasses
subjected to repeated loading are examined using molecular dynamics simulations. We …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the transient response of a binary Lennard-
Jones glass subjected to periodic shear deformation. The amorphous solid is modeled as a …

Fatigue fracture is a unique failure mode of materials induced by repeated loading and is
crucial for the long-term stability of materials used in cars and aeroplanes. Fatigue is the …
