Local micromechanics in a mean-field model of glasses reveal key properties of its non-equilibrium RSB phase
Makoto Suda, Edan Lerner, Eran Bouchbinder
A recently formulated mean-field model of glasses features an equilibrium, zero-temperature Replica-Symmetry-Breaking (RSB) transition in some parameter range. In this range, the m…
Breakdown of the classical rupture theory and earthquake propagation in the "forbidden" super-Rayleigh range
Anna Pomyalov, Fabian Barras, Eran Bouchbinder
Earthquakes propagating faster than the shear wave-speed are commonly thought to undergo a super-shear transition upon which they discontinuously jump from the sub-Rayleigh regime…
Nonlinear phonon dispersion in disordered solids and non-Debye vibrational spectra
Edan Lerner, Eran Bouchbinder
All solids, whether crystalline or disordered, support elastic wave propagation with a linear dispersion relation in the long-wavelength limit. These waves, corresponding to low-fr…
Large dilatational hyperelasticity of glasses en route to cavitation failure
Pawandeep Kaur, Noam Ottolenghi, Edan Lerner +2
Materials deform elasto-plastically and fail under various loading conditions, typically quantified by the stress triaxiality, which is the ratio between the dilatational (hydrosta…
Yielding and memory in a driven mean-field model of glasses
Makoto Suda, Edan Lerner, Eran Bouchbinder
Glassy systems reveal a wide variety of generic behaviors, which lack a unified theoretical description. Here, we study a mean-field model, recently shown to reproduce the universa…
Active flow-driven DNA remodeling generates millimeter-scale mechanical oscillations
Maya Levanon, Noa S. Goldberg, Dvir Cohen +3
In living systems, DNA undergoes continuous and rhythmic mechanical remodeling through condensation, looping, and disentangling to regulate gene expression, segregate chromosomes,…
