A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and…
The dynamics of defect excitations in crystalline solids is necessary to understand the macroscopic low-energy properties of elastic media. We use fracton-elasticity duality to systematically study the defect dynamics and interactions in…
We show that the results of Prigodin et al can be reproduced and simplified by making use of Berry's conjecture that the energy eigenfunctions in a quantized chaotic system are gaussian random variables.
We study the rescaled probability distribution of the critical depinning force of an elastic system in a random medium. We put in evidence the underlying connection between the critical properties of the depinning transition and the extreme…
We focus on the dynamics of a Brownian particle whose mass fluctuates. First we show that the behaviour is similar to that of a Brownian particle moving in a fluctuating medium, as studied by Beck [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 180601]. By…
Turbulence exhibits significant velocity fluctuations even if the scale is much larger than the scale of the energy supply. Since any spatial correlation is negligible, these large-scale fluctuations have many degrees of freedom and are…
We obtain a general solution for the probability density function of wave intensities in non-stationary Wave Turbulence. The solution is expressed in terms of the wave action spectrum evolving according the the wave-kinetic equation. We…
It has been shown that the extension of the elasticity theory in more than three dimensions allows a description of space-time as a properly stressed medium, even recovering the Minkowski metric in the case of uniaxial stress. The…

In this paper we investigate the conformation statistics of a Gaussian chain embedded in a medium of finite size, in the presence of quenched random obstacles. The similarities and differences between the case of random obstacles and the…
The interaction of a gravitational wave (GW) with an elastic body is usually described in terms of a GW "force" driving the oscillations of the body's normal modes. However, this description is only possible for GW frequencies for which the…
The paper studies the interaction of a longitudinal wave with transverse waves in general isotropic and unconstrained hyperelastic materials, including the possibility of dissipation. The dissipative term chosen is similar to the classical…
In this paper we study a classical and theoretical system which consists of an elastic medium carrying transverse waves and one point-like high elastic medium density, called concretion. We compute the equation of motion for the concretion…
We study when a given Gaussian random variable on a given probability space $(\Omega, {\cal{F}}, P) $ is equal almost surely to $\beta_{1}$ where $\beta $ is a Brownian motion defined on the same (or possibly extended) probability space. As…
Two questions related to elastic motions are raised and addressed. First: in which theoretical framework can the equations of motion be written for an elastic half-space put into uniform rotation? It is seen that nonlinear finite elasticity…
We consider vectors of random variables, obtained by restricting the length of the nodal set of Berry's random wave model to a finite collection of (possibly overlapping) smooth compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our main result shows that,…
We report the results of a direct comparison of a freely expanding turbulent Bose-Einstein condensate and the propagation of an optical speckle pattern. We found remarkably similar statistical properties underlying the spatial propagation…
Assuming an effective quadratic Hamiltonian, we derive an approximate, linear stochastic equation of motion for the density-fluctuations in liquids, composed of overdamped Brownian particles. From this approach, time dependent two point…
