Abstract

In order to understand whether internal stresses in glasses are correlated or randomly distributed, we study the organization of atomic bond tensions (normal forces between pairs of atoms). Measurements of the invariants of the atomic bond tension tensor in simulated 2D and 3D binary Lennard-Jones glasses, reveal new and unexpected correlations and provide support for Alexander's conjecture about the non-random character of internal stresses in amorphous solids.
