Abstract

We study the stress fluctuations in simulations of a two-dimensional amorphous solid under a cyclic drive. It is known that this system organizes into a reversible state for small driving amplitudes and remains in an irreversible state for high driving amplitudes, and that a critical driving amplitude separates the two regimes. Here we study the time series of the stress fluctuations below and above the reversible-irreversible transition. In the irreversible regime above the transition, the power spectrum of the stress fluctuations is broad and has a 1/f α shape with 1 < α < 2. We find that the low frequency noise power peaks near the stress at which dc yielding occurs, which is consistent with the behavior expected in systems undergoing a non-equilibrium phase transition.
