We study theoretically the yielding of sheared amorphous materials as a function of increasing levels of initial sample annealing prior to shear, in three widely used constitutive models and three widely studied annealing protocols. In thermal system... Read More about Ductile and Brittle Yielding in Thermal and Athermal Amorphous Materials.
