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 …

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 …

Supercooled liquids and glasses are important for current and developing technologies.
Here we provide perspective on recent progress in this field. The interpretation of …

The aim of this article is to discuss the concepts of non-local rheology and fluidity, recently
introduced to describe dense granular flows. We review and compare various approaches …

The art of making structural, polymeric, and metallic glasses is rapidly developing with many
applications. A limitation is that under increasing external strain all amorphous solids (like …

Glasses behave as solids on experimental time scales due to their slow relaxation. Growing
dynamic length scales due to cooperative motion of particles are believed to be central to …

The fundamental instability responsible for the shear localization which results in shear
bands in amorphous solids remains unknown despite an enormous amount of research …

Simulations are used to determine the effect of inertia on athermal shear of amorphous two-
dimensional solids. In the quasistatic limit, shear occurs through a series of rapid …

Under external mechanical loading, glassy materials, ranging from soft matter systems to
metallic alloys, often respond via formation of inhomogeneous flow patterns, during yielding …

Molecular dynamics simulations with varying damping are used to examine the effects of
inertia and spatial dimension on sheared disordered solids in the athermal quasistatic limit …
