We use computer simulations to analyse the yielding transition duringlarge-amplitude oscillatory shear of a simple model for soft jammed solids.Simultaneous analysis of global mechanical response and particle-scale motiondemonstrates that macroscopic yielding, revealed by a smooth crossover inmechanical properties, is accompanied by a sudden change in the particledynamics, which evolves from non-diffusive motion to irreversible diffusion asthe amplitude of the shear is increased. We provide numerical evidence thatthis sharp change corresponds to a non-equilibrium first-order dynamic phasetransition, thus establishing the existence of a well-defined microscopicdynamic signature of the yielding transition in amorphous materials inoscillatory shear.
