Interplay of Rearrangements, Strain, and Local Structure during Avalanche Propagation

Jammed soft disks exhibit avalanches of particle rearrangements under quasistatic shear. We introduce a framework for understanding the statistics of the progression of avalanches. We follow the avalanches (simulated using steepest descent energy minimization) to decompose them into individual local...
