Microscopic dynamics underlying the stress relaxation of arrested soft materials by Song, Jake, Zhang, Qingteng, de Quesada, Felipe, Rizvi, Mehedi H., Tracy, Joseph B., Ilavsky, Jan, Narayanan, Suresh, Del Gado, Emanuela, Leheny, Robert L., Holten-Andersen, Niels, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…We also show that perturbing the system via small mechanical deformations can result in large intermittent fluctuations in the form of avalanches, which give rise to a broad non-Gaussian spectrum of relaxation modes at short times that is observed in stress relaxation measurements. These findings suggest that the linear viscoelastic stress relaxation in arrested soft materials may be governed by nonlinear phenomena involving an interplay of internal stress relaxations and perturbation-induced intermittent avalanches.…”
