Avalanche dynamics in sheared athermal particle packings occurs via localized bursts predicted by unstable linear response

Abstract

Under applied strain, granular and glassy materials exhibit system-spanning avalanches. These can be decomposed into localized bursts of deformation, predicted by soft spots derived from an extension of linear response methods to unstable systems.
