Interacting Hysterons with Asymptotically Small or Large Spans
Margot Teunisse, Martin van Hecke
Models of interacting hysteretic elements, called hysterons, capture the sequential response and complex memory effects in a wide range of complex systems and can guide the design…
Transition Graphs of Interacting Hysterons: Structure, Design, Organization and Statistics
Margot H. Teunisse, Martin van Hecke
Transition graphs capture the memory and sequential response of multistable media, by specifying their evolution under external driving. Microscopically, collections of bistable el…
Dynamic Avalanches: Rate-Controlled Switching and Race Conditions
Lishuai Jin, Martin van Hecke
Avalanches are rapid cascades of rearrangements driven by cooperative flipping of hysteretic local elements. Here we show that flipping dynamics and race conditions -- where multip…
Dynamic self-loops in networks of passive and active binary elements
Paul Baconnier, Margot H. Teunisse, Martin van Hecke
Models of coupled binary elements capture memory effects in complex dissipative materials, such as transient responses or sequential computing, when their interactions are chosen a…
Dynamic driving enables independent control of material bits for targeted memory
E. Gutierrez-Prieto, C. M. Meulblok, M. van Hecke +1
Mechanical metamaterials with bistable elements can store vast amounts of information, but writing these memories requires impractical local control or lengthy multi-cycle protocol…
Aging of amorphous materials under cyclic strain
Dor Shohat, Paul Baconnier, Itamar Procaccia +2
Amorphous materials driven away from equilibrium display a diverse repertoire of complex, history-dependent behaviors. One striking feature is a failure to return to equilibrium af…
