Emergence of a random field at the yielding transition of a mean-field Elasto-Plastic model

Abstract

We study the mean-field limit of an elasto-plastic model introduced to describe the yielding transition of athermally and quasi-statically sheared amorphous solids. We focus on the sample-to-sample fluctuations, which we characterize analytically, and investigate in detail the analogy with the athermally driven random-field Ising model. We stress that the random field at the yielding transition is an emerging disorder and we investigate the various factors that determine its strength.
