We review the depinning and nonequilibrium phases of collectively interacting particle
systems driven over random or periodic substrates. This type of system is relevant to vortices …

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 …

We give a bird's-eye view of the plastic deformation of crystals aimed at the statistical
physics community, as well as a broad introduction to the statistical theories of forced rigid …

Amorphous solids are ubiquitous among natural and man-made materials. Often used as
structural materials for their attractive mechanical properties, their utility depends critically on …

A wide range of behaviors, including non-monotonic rejuvenation and relaxation, and the
ability to qualitatively change the effect by varying the structural state of the glass was …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of a glass preparation
on its yielding transition under oscillatory shear. We use swap Monte Carlo to investigate a …

We use computer simulations to analyze the yielding transition during large-amplitude
oscillatory shear of a simple model for soft jammed solids. Simultaneous analysis of global …

Yielding behavior in amorphous solids has been investigated in computer simulations using
uniform and cyclic shear deformation. Recent results characterize yielding as a …

Disordered hyperuniform structures are locally random while uniform like crystals at large
length scales. Recently, an exotic hyperuniform fluid state was found in several …

We consider the slow and athermal deformations of amorphous solids and show how the
ensuing sequence of discrete plastic rearrangements can be mapped onto a directed …
