Sum rules for the visco-elastic response of disordered solids at zero temperature

ORAL

Abstract

We study exact results concerning the non-affine displacement fields observed by Tanguy et al [Europhys. Lett. {\bf 57}, 423 (2002), Phys. Rev. B {\bf 66}, 174205 (2002)] and their contributions to elasticity. A normal mode analysis permits us to estimate the dominant contributions to the non-affine corrections to elasticity, and relate these corrections to the correlator of a fluctuating force field. We extend this analysis to the visco-elastic response of the system.
