The Stability of an Expanding Circular Cavity and the Failure of Amorphous Solids
Eran Bouchbinder, Ting-Shek Lo, Itamar Procaccia +1
Recently, the existence and properties of unbounded cavity modes, resulting in extensive plastic deformation failure of two-dimensional sheets of amorphous media, were discussed in…
The State of the Art in Hydrodynamic Turbulence: Past Successes and Future Challenges
Itamar Procaccia, K. R. Sreenivasan
We present a personal view of the state of the art in turbulence research. We summarize first the main achievements in the recent past, and then point ahead to the main challenges…
Theory of Relaxation Dynamics in Glass-Forming Hydrogen-Bonded Liquids
H. G. E. Hentschel, Itamar Procaccia
We address the relaxation dynamics in hydrogen-bonded super-cooled liquids near the glass transition, measured via Broad-Band Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS). We propose a theory bas…
Dynamic Failure in Amorphous Solids via a Cavitation Instability
Eran Bouchbinder, Ting-Shek Lo, Itamar Procaccia
The understanding of dynamic failure in amorphous materials via the propagation of free boundaries like cracks and voids must go beyond elasticity theory, since plasticity interven…
Comparison of Theory and Direct Numerical Simulations of Drag Reduction by Rodlike Polymers in Turbulent Channel Flows
Roberto Benzi, Emily S. C. Ching, Elisabetta De Angelis +1
Numerical simulations of turbulent channel flows, with or without additives, are limited in the extent of the Reynolds number \Re and Deborah number \De. The comparison of such sim…
Mechanical Properties of Glass Forming Systems
Valery Ilyin, Nataliya Makedonska, Itamar Procaccia +1
We address the interesting temperature range of a glass forming system where the mechanical properties are intermediate between those of a liquid and a solid. We employ an efficien…
