This paper reviews the recent research and development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs).
HEAs are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal …

The formation of cracks and emergence of shearing planes and other modes of rapid
macroscopic failure in geologic granular media involve numerous grain scale mechanical …

The behaviour of dense assemblies of dry grains submitted to continuous shear deformation
has been the subject of many experiments and discrete particle simulations. This paper is a …

We study the plane shear flow of a dense assembly of dissipative disks using discrete
simulation and prescribing the pressure and the shear rate. Those shear states are steady …

We present results on a series of two-dimensional atomistic computer simulations of
amorphous systems subjected to simple shear in the athermal, quasistatic limit. The …

Slowly sheared granular materials at high packing fractions deform via slip avalanches with
a broad range of sizes. Conventional continuum descriptions are not expected to apply to …

Force chain buckling, leading to unjamming and shear banding, is examined quantitatively
via a discrete element analysis of a two-dimensional, densely-packed, cohesionless …

The statement of the title is shown by numerical simulation of homogeneously sheared
assemblies of frictionless, nearly rigid beads in the quasistatic limit. Results coincide for …

Dynamic triggering of earthquakes by seismic waves is a robustly observed phenomenon
with well-documented examples from over 30 major earthquakes. We are now in a position …

Using fast confocal microscopy we image the three-dimensional dynamics of particles in a
yielded hard-sphere colloidal glass under steady shear. The structural relaxation, observed …
