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 …

Serration and noise behaviors in plastically deforming solids are related to avalanches of
deformation processes. In the stress-strain curves, the serration characteristics are visible as …

We propose a versatile approach to computing the effective toughness of heterogeneous
media. This approach focusses on the material property independent of the details of the …

We study stress time series caused by plastic avalanches in athermally sheared disordered
materials. Using particle-based simulations and a mesoscopic elastoplastic model, we …

Abstract Domain walls in magnets, vortex lattices in superconductors, contact lines at
depinning, and many other systems can be modeled as an elastic system subject to …

While there exists a unified theoretical framework–Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics–to
describe the failure of homogeneous materials, understanding and modeling the …

A multitude of systems ranging from the Barkhausen effect in ferromagnetic materials to
plastic deformation and earthquakes respond to slow external driving by exhibiting …

Modeling of phenomena such as anomalous transport via fractional-order differential
equations has been established as an effective alternative to partial differential equations …

We explore the critical behavior of dynamic phase transitions in ultrathin uniaxial Co films.
Our data demonstrate the occurrence of critical fluctuations, which define the critical regime …

We report a comparative study of magnetic field driven domain wall motion in thin films
made of different magnetic materials for a wide range of field and temperature. The full …
