How Generic are the Robust Theoretical Aspects of Jamming in Hard Sphere Models?
Giorgio Parisi, Yoav G. Pollack, Itamar Procaccia +2
In very recent work the mean field theory of the jamming transition in infinite dimensional hard spheres models was presented. Surprisingly, this theory predicts quantitatively num…
Mechanical Failure in Amorphous Solids: Scale Free Spinodal Criticality
Itamar Procaccia, Corrado Rainone, Murari Singh
The mechanical failure of amorphous media is a ubiquitous phenomenon from material engineering to geology. It has been noticed for a long time that the phenomenon is "scale-free",…
Shear bands as manifestation of a criticality in yielding amorphous solids
Giorgio Parisi, Itamar Procaccia, Corrado Rainone +1
Amorphous solids increase their stress as a function of an applied strain until a mechanical yield point whereupon the stress cannot increase anymore, afterwards exhibiting a stead…
