Residual stress engineering is very widely used in the design of new advanced lightweight materials. For metallic glasses the attention has been on structural changes and rejuvenation processes. High energy scanning X-ray diffraction strain…
A criterium is derived to understand the relevance of thermal effects resulting from high rate mechanical actions on glass surface. The criterium is based on the concept of characteristic contact time of the load to the glass surface. This…

We show that the long time tail of the shear stress autocorrelation, whose growth at large supercooling is responsible for the apparent divergence of the shear viscosity, is a direct result of a residual shear stress in the structures…
Plastic materials can carry memory of past mechanical treatment in the form of internal stress. We introduce a natural definition of the vorticity of internal stress in a simple two-dimensional model of elasto-plastic fluids, which…
We report on dynamic effects associated with thermally-annealing amorphous indium-oxide films. In this process the resistance of a given sample may decrease by several orders of magnitude at room-temperatures, while its amorphous structure…
Glasses are mechanically rigid, still undergo structural relaxation which changes their properties and affects potential technological applications. Understanding the underlying physical processes is a problem of broad theoretical and…
Local stresses and pressures always exist in glasses. In this letter we consider their effects on the structure and structural correlations in simple glasses. We find that extreme values of local pressures are related to well defined local…
We apply a recently developed theory of the nonphononic vibrational density of states (DOS) in glasses to investigate the impact of local frozen-in stresses on the low-temperature specific heat. Using a completely harmonic description we…
An elastic disk is coated with an elastic rod, uniformly prestressed with a tensile or compressive axial force. The prestress state is assumed to be induced by three different models of external radial load or by 'shrink-fit' forcing the…
In order to understand whether internal stresses in glasses are correlated or randomly distributed, we study the organization of atomic bond tensions (normal forces between pairs of atoms). Measurements of the invariants of the atomic bond…

Comprehending sound damping is integral to understanding the anomalous low temperature properties of glasses. Despite decades of studies, the underlying mechanism of sound damping in glasses is still debated. In this perspective we review…
Amorphous solids, which show characteristic differences from crystals, are common in daily usage. Glasses, gels, and polymers are familiar examples, and polymers are particularly important in terms of their role in construction and…
Dilatancy associated with fault slip produces a transient pore pressure drop which increases frictional strength. This effect is analysed in a steadily propagating rupture model that includes frictional weakening, slip-dependent fault…
The residual stress induced in assembly is a common concern in electronic packaging. The mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion between borosilicate glass and silicon, upon temperature variation, generates an internal stress state.…

It has been recently shown [E. Lerner, G. D\"uring, and E. Bouchbinder, Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 035501 (2016)] that the non-phononic vibrational modes of structural glasses at low-frequencies $\omega$ are quasi-localized and follow a…
Femtosecond laser exposure in the non-ablative regime induces a variety of bulk structural modifications, in which anisotropy may depend on the polarization of the writing beam. In this work, we investigate the correlation between…
Cracking of suspensions during drying is a common problem. While additives, e.g. binders and surfactants, can mitigate this problem, some applications, such as printing conductive pastes or sintering green bodies, do not lend themselves to…
