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 …

For crystalline metals, the science, technology and application of thermomechanical
processing are established, but this is not true for glasses. Metallic glasses—because they …

Structural rejuvenation is an effective measure to optimize the mechanical properties of
metallic glasses (MGs). Sophisticated solutions to rejuvenation include thermal cycling, laser …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The physical processes governing the onset of yield, where a material changes its shape
permanently under external deformation, are not yet understood for amorphous solids that …

A fundamental problem in the physics of amorphous materials is understanding the
transition from reversible to irreversible plastic behavior and its connection to yield …

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 …

We use numerical simulations and an athermal quasistatic shear protocol to investigate the
yielding of a model colloidal gel. Under increasing deformation, the elastic regime is …
