contents The origin of the transition from asymptotically reversible to asymptotically irreversible response in amorphous solids subject to oscillatory shear is still unknown. It is known that the plastic events that result from shearing always involve localized particle rearrangements, but it is unclear why some are reversible while others are not. Here we show, using simulations and models, that overlaps between particle rearrangements caused by straining the solid in alternating directions can cause the response to become irreversible when they occur frequently. As the forcing amplitude increases, plastic events become more frequent, the number of such overlaps increases, and the probability of the system returning to previous states diminishes.
