We suggest a scalar model for deformation and flow of an amorphous material such as a foam or an emulsion. To describe elastic, plastic and viscous behaviours, we use three scalar variables: elastic deformation, plastic deformation rate and…
A thermal activation model to describe the plasticity of bulk metallic glasses (Derlet and Maa\ss, Phil. Mag. 2013, DOI: 10.1080/14786435.2013.826396) which uses a distribution of barrier energies and some aspects of under-cooled liquid…

The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range deformation field. To describe these heterogeneous processes,…
