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 …

Prior to macroscopic yielding, most materials undergo a regime of plastic activity that cannot
be resolved in conventional bulk deformation experiments. In this pre-yield, or micro-plastic …

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 …

In the design and development of novel materials that have excellent mechanical properties,
classification and regression methods have been diversely used across mechanical …

The origin of the deformation in metallic glasses is attributed to rearrangements of atoms in
some structurally weak spots behaving as flow units, which are associated with free …

Crystal plasticity is mediated through dislocations, which form knotted configurations in a
complex energy landscape. Once they disentangle and move, they may also be impeded by …

Macroscopic crystal plasticity is classically viewed as an outcome of uncorrelated dislocation
motions producing Gaussian fluctuations. An apparently conflicting picture emerged in …

When an amorphous material is strained beyond the point of yielding, it enters a state of
continual reconfiguration via dissipative, avalanchelike slip events that relieve built-up local …

In the present study, we carefully evaluate the role of high entropy alloy (HEA)
characteristics on glass-forming ability (GFA) and mechanical responses in a newly …

Scale-free outbursts of activity are commonly observed in physical, geological, and
biological systems. The idea of self-organized criticality (SOC), introduced back in 1987 by …
