Industrial processes are often accompanied by energy losses. These energy losses can be
in the form of exhaust gas or effluents occurring at different temperature levels. All these …

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 …

We present results on an automaton model of an amorphous solid under cyclic shear. After a
transient, the steady state falls into one of three cases in order of increasing strain …

Recent experiments and simulations have revealed glassy features in, eg, cytoplasm, living
tissues and dense assemblies of self-propelled colloids. This leads to a fundamental …

Amorphous solids such as coffee foam, toothpaste, or mayonnaise display a transient creep
flow when a stress Σ is suddenly imposed. The associated strain rate is commonly found to …

We develop a framework to study the mechanical response of athermal amorphous solids
via a coupling of mesoscale and microscopic models. Using measurements of coarse …

Widespread processes in nature and technology are governed by the dynamical transition
whereby a material in an initially solid-like state, whether soft or hard, then yields. Major …

The mechanical properties of soft matter are of great importance in countless applications, in
addition of being an active field of academic research. Given the relative ease with which …

Using mean field theory and a mesoscale elastoplastic model, we analyze the steady state
shear rheology of thermally activated amorphous solids. At sufficiently high temperature and …

We construct a mean-field elastoplastic description of the dynamics of amorphous solids
under arbitrary time-dependent perturbations, building on the work of Lin and Wyart [Phys …
