The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

We review recent research into elastic and plastic deformation of metallic glasses, with an
emphasis on making connections between developments in theory and simulation (largely …

非晶态物质是复杂的多体相互作用体系, 其基本特征是原子和电子结构复杂, 微观结构长程无序,
体系在能量上处在亚稳态, 具有复杂的多重弛豫行为, 其物理, 化学和力学性质 …

We combine an analytically solvable mean-field elasto-plastic model with molecular
dynamics simulations of a generic glass former to demonstrate that, depending on their …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

Extending recent modeling efforts for emulsions, we propose a nonlocal fluidity relation for
flowing granular materials, capturing several known finite-size effects observed in steady …

Dense granular materials display a complicated set of flow properties, which differentiate
them from ordinary fluids. Despite their ubiquity, no model has been developed that captures …

The ability to control the plastic deformation of amorphous metals is based on the capacity to
influence the percolation of the shear transformation zones (STZs). Despite the recent …

Since the 1970s, theories of deformation and failure of amorphous, solidlike materials have
started with models in which stress-driven, molecular rearrangements occur at localized flow …
