Density scaling and quasiuniversality of flow-event statistics for athermal plastic flows

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Athermal plastic flows were simulated for the Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones system and its repulsive version in which the sign of the attractive terms is changed to a plus. Properties evaluated from simulations at different densities include the distributions of energy drops, stress drops, and strain intervals between the flow events. By reference to hidden scale invariance we show that simulations at a single density in conjunction with an equilibrium-liquid simulation at the same density allows one to predict the plastic flow-event properties at other densities. We furthermore demonstrate quasiuniversality of the flow-event statistics.
