The smooth emergence of shear elasticity is an hallmark of the liquid to glass transition. In a liquid, viscous stresses arise from local structural rearrangements. In the solid, Eshelby has shown that stresses around an inclusion decay as…

It is well known that inertia-free shearing flows of a viscoelastic fluid with curved streamlines, such as the torsional flow between a rotating cone and plate, or the flow in a Taylor-Couette geometry, can become unstable to a…

We study the temporal and spatial correlations in a one-dimensional model of a heterogeneous fault zone, in the presence of visco-elastic effects. As a function of dynamical weakening and of dissipation, the system exhibits three different…
Power-law fluids can strongly affect the degree of the contact line stress singularity and hence the nature of moving contact lines. We develop a framework beyond the classical paradigm for power-law fluids, providing a unified account for…
We consider two disconnected Luttinger liquids which are coupled at $t=0$ through chiral density-density interactions. Both for $t<0$ and $t \geq 0$ the system is exactly solvable by means of bosonization and this allows to evaluate…

We report on experimental measurements of the flow behavior of a wet, two-dimensional foam under conditions of slow, steady shear. The initial response of the foam is elastic. Above the yield strain, the foam begins to flow. The flow…
