| contents | Liquid foams are archetypal athermal amorphous solids whose elasticity arises from the jamming of densely packed bubbles. We investigate the stress relaxation of non-ageing liquid foams following flow cessation, using fast X-ray tomo-rheoscopy. Thanks to in situ, time-resolved measurements, we uncover robust linear affine relationships between shear stress, plastic activity, and coordination number throughout the relaxation toward a residual stress state below the yield value. In contrast to previous studies on amorphous solids, we observe an exponential relaxation governed by the duration of individual plastic events, rather than by cascades of correlated ones associated with much longer, shear-rate-dependent timescales or power-law relaxations. Our results are consistent with a recent theoretical framework proposed by Cuny et al., suggesting that residual stress originates from the orientation of the stress tensor. |
