Séminaire PMMH - Kirsten Martens (LIPhy, Univ. Grenoble Alpes)

Vendredi 6 octobre 2017 de 11h00 à 12h30 - A1 (Urbain)

Fluidization of yield stress materials through active and activated local events

In this talk I will discuss the possible fluidization mecanisms of yield stress materials through either locally active dynamics, like cell division in tissues [1,2] or vibration induced local plasticity like in externally driven granular materials [3]. The long range elastic response to these events lead to a non-trivial fluidization of the material, that can be captured in particle-based simulations and rationalized by using mesoscopic descriptions. This allows to understand the underlying dynamics and to reproduce the resulting non-linear rheological behaviours.

Information for the speakers

The audience is composed of people with rather heterogeneous backgrounds including specialists in solids, fluids, granular flows, statistical physics... so the idea is to keep your talk understandable by people not necessarily working in your field... The seminar time slot runs from 11am to noon so the best is to make the talk last around 45 minutes to leave some time for discussion.
