Plastic Behavior

Plastic Behavior

A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Stress-Strain Diagram - Brittle Materials

Stress-Strain Diagram - Brittle Materials

Brittle materials, including glass, cast iron, and stone, exhibit unique characteristics. They fracture without considerable change in their elongation rate, indicating that their breaking and ultimate strength are equivalent. Such materials also show lower strain levels at the point of rupture. The failure in brittle materials predominantly results from normal stresses, as evidenced by the rupture created along a surface perpendicular to the applied load. These materials do not display...

Strain and Elastic Modulus

Strain and Elastic Modulus

The quantity that describes the deformation of a body under stress is known as strain. Strain is given as a fractional change in either length, volume, or geometry under tensile, volume (also known as bulk), or shear stress, respectively, and is a dimensionless quantity. The strain experienced by a body under tensile or compressive stress is called tensile or compressive strain, respectively. In contrast, the strain experienced under bulk stress and shear stress is known as volume and shear...

Hooke's Law

Hooke's Law

Hooke's law, a pivotal principle in material science, establishes that the strain a material undergoes is directly proportional to the applied stress, defined by a factor called the modulus of elasticity or Young's modulus.

Plasticity

Plasticity

Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Members Made of Elastoplastic Material

Members Made of Elastoplastic Material

The behavior of elastoplastic materials under bending stresses, particularly in structural members with rectangular cross-sections, is crucial for predicting material responses and understanding failure modes. Initially, when a bending moment is applied, the stress distribution across the section follows Hooke's Law and is linear and elastic. This distribution means the stress increases from the neutral axis to the maximum at the outer fibers, up to the elastic limit.
As the bending moment...

Background:

Amorphous solids exhibit plastic responses under mechanical strain.
Plastic events in granular systems, often quadrupolar, can screen elastic responses.
High densities of quadrupoles lead to emergent dipole sources, altering mechanical behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the screening effect of plastic responses in classical glass formers.
To examine the role of binary interactions (inverse power law and Lennard-Jones) in this screening.
To quantify the deviation from classical elasticity theory.

Main Methods:

Simulation of amorphous solids composed of point particles.
Application of inverse power law and Lennard-Jones inter-particle potentials.
Analysis of elastic response under mechanical strain.

Main Results:

Observed strong screening of elastic response in classical glass formers.
Confirmed agreement with novel theoretical predictions.
Demonstrated that the degree of deviation from classical elasticity is linked to energy dissipation from plastic events.

Conclusions:

The screening of elastic response by plastic events is a significant phenomenon in classical glass formers.
The proposed measure effectively parametrizes deviations from classical elasticity theory.
Energy dissipation through plastic responses plays a crucial role in the mechanical behavior of amorphous solids.
