We study the shear induced fluidization of amorphous solids subjected toexternal loading by investigating the relaxation dynamics of the deformedstates using computer simulation. A simple shear deformation is employed atconstant rate to the thermal glassy materials. The shear localization and theplastic deformation heterogeneity with strain is investigated in terms of thenon-affine displacement field. The mean square displacement shows an enhancedmobility of the particles with strain, indicating the fluidization of thematerial. Using the time correlation function we estimate the relaxation timeof the sheared glasses. A significant decrease in the relaxation time isobserved up to the yielding point as the material loses its solid nature andeventually becomes liquid-like. Finally, the imprint of memory of the quiescentsample on the rheological properties of the shear melted glass is investigatedby computing the relaxation of the shear stress. We find a finite persistentresidual stress that outlasts the experimental observation time in our system.
