Memory in non-monotonic stress response of an athermal disordered solid

Athermal systems across a large range of length scales, ranging from foams and granular bead packings to crumpled metallic sheets, exhibit slow stress relaxation when compressed. Experimentally they show a non-monotonic stress response when decompressed somewhat after an initial compression, i.e., u...
