AI Article Synopsis
- Soft amorphous materials, like clays and gels, are common viscoelastic solids that can transform from solid to liquid under deformation, altering their microstructure.
- A workshop at the Lorentz Center in Leiden from January 9 to 13, 2023, focused on this yielding transition in these materials.
- The resulting manuscript highlights key insights and open questions from discussions at the workshop, pointing to future experimental and theoretical challenges in the field.
Article Abstract
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical engineering. Under an external deformation, these materials undergo a noteworthy transition from a solid to a liquid state that reshapes the material microstructure. This yielding transition was the main theme of a workshop held from January 9 to 13, 2023 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden. The manuscript presented here offers a critical perspective on the subject, synthesizing insights from the various brainstorming sessions and informal discussions that unfolded during this week of vibrant exchange of ideas. The result of these exchanges takes the form of a series of open questions that represent outstanding experimental, numerical, and theoretical challenges to be tackled in the near future.
