Inferring the nature of disorder in the media where elastic objects are nucleated is of crucial
importance for many applications but remains a challenging basic-science problem. Here …

We investigate the scaling properties of the distribution of the forces that are exerted on the
bonds of an elastic percolation network near the percolation threshold p c. It is shown that …

Disordered hyperuniform materials with vanishing long-wavelength density fluctuations are
attracting attention due to their unique physical properties. In these systems, the large-scale …

We study the rescaled probability distribution of the critical depinning force of an elastic
system in a random medium. We put in evidence the underlying connection between the …

Recent progress on studies of the nanoscale mechanical responses in disordered systems
has highlighted a strong degree of heterogeneity in the elastic moduli. In this contribution …

The packing of elastic bodies has emerged as a paradigm for the study of macroscopic
disordered systems. However, progress is hampered by the lack of controlled experiments …

We address the effect of disorder geometry on the critical force in disordered elastic systems.
We focus on the model system of a long-range elastic line driven in a random landscape. In …

Motivated by the problem of weak collective pinning of vortex lattices in high-temperature
superconductors, we study the model system of a four-dimensional elastic manifold with N …

Quantifying mechanical disorder in solids, either disordered crystals or glassy solids, and
understanding its range of variability are of prime importance, eg for discovering structure …

It has been recently shown that randomly charged surfaces can exhibit-long range
electrostatic interactions even when they are net neutral. These forces depend on the …
