Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

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 …

A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

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 …

The mechanical properties of amorphous alloys have proven both scientifically unique and
of potential practical interest, although the underlying deformation physics of these materials …

Even in simple geometries, many complex fluids display nontrivial flow fields, with regions
where shear is concentrated. The possibility for such shear banding has been known for …

The field of complex (dusty) plasmas—low-temperature plasmas containing charged
microparticles—is reviewed: The major types of experimental complex plasmas are briefly …

This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of amorphous solids and related
disordered condensed matter systems. Important concepts from statistical mechanics such …

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 …

The yield stress of many yield stress fluids has turned out to be difficult to determine
experimentally. This has led to various discussions in the literature about those experimental …
