A Dynamical Mechanism for Irreversibility in Cyclically Driven Amorphous Solids
Above yielding, cyclically driven amorphous solids become irreversible through rare branching events caused by competition between nearly degenerate plastic instabilities, not through chaotic sensitivity to initial conditions.
