Continuum mesoscale theory inspired by plasticity
J. P. Sethna, M. Rauscher, J. -P. Bouchaud
We present a simple mesoscale field theory inspired by rate-independent plasticity that reflects the symmetry of the deformation process. We parameterize the plastic deformation by…
Can crack front waves explain the roughness of cracks ?
E. Bouchaud, J-P Bouchaud, D. S. Fisher +2
We review recent theoretical progress on the dynamics of brittle crack fronts and its relationship to the roughness of fracture surfaces. We discuss the possibility that the interm…
Anomalous dynamical light scattering in soft glassy gels
J-P Bouchaud, E. Pitard
We compute the dynamical structure factor S(q,tau) of an elastic medium where force dipoles appear at random in space and in time, due to `micro-collapses' of the structure. Variou…
Glassy Solutions of the Kardar-Pasrisi-Zhang Equation
M. A. Moore, T. Blum J. P. Doherty, M. Marsili +2
It is shown that the mode-coupling equations for the strong-coupling limit of the KPZ equation have a solution for d>4 such that the dynamic exponent z is 2 (with possible logarith…
