It is widely appreciated that surface tension can dominate the behavior of liquids at small scales. Solids also have surface stresses of a similar magnitude, but they are usually overlooked. However, recent work has shown that these can…

Various experiments evidence spatial heterogeneities in sheared yield stress fluids. To account for heterogeneities in the velocity gradient direction, we use a simple model corresponding to a non-monotonous local constitutive curve and…
Micron-scale single crystalline materials deform plastically via large intermittent strain bursts that make the deformation process unpredictable. Here we investigate this stochastic phenomenon by analysing the plastic response of an…

We consider the equilibrium of liquid droplets sitting on thin elastic sheets that are subject to a boundary tension and/or are clamped at their edge. We use scaling arguments, together with a detailed analysis based on the…
We describe the dynamics of a stream of equally spaced macroscopic particles in orbit around a central body (e.g. a planet or star). A co-orbital configuration of small bodies may be subject to gravitational instability, which takes the…
We consider different measure-valued solvability concepts from the literature and show that they could be simplified by using the energy-variational structure of the underlying system of partial differential equations. In the considered…
We formulate a stochastic equation to model the erosion of a surface with fixed inclination. Because the inclination imposes a preferred direction for material transport, the problem is intrinsically anisotropic. At zeroth order, the…
The aim of this paper is to present a modeling for the rheological behavior of simple liquids as a function of the amplitude of the imposed shear stress or strain. The elastic mode theory (Ref. 6) is first generalized to take into account…
A statistically stationary turbulence with a mean shear gradient is realized in a flow driven by suitable body forces. The flow domain is periodic in downstream and spanwise directions and bounded by stress free surfaces in the normal…
Mechanical deformation of amorphous solids can be described as consisting of an elastic part in which the stress increases linearly with strain, up to a yield point at which the solid either fractures or starts deforming plastically. It is…
We analyze dissipative scale effects within a one-dimensional theory, developed in [L. Anand et al. (2005) J. Mech. Phys. Solids 53], which describes plastic flow in a thin strip undergoing simple shear. We give a variational…
A new mathematical formulation for the constitutive laws governing elastic perfectly plastic materials is proposed here. In particular, it is shown that the elastic strain rate and the plastic strain rate form an orthogonal decomposition…

In unsaturated soil mechanics, the quest for an effective stress playing the same role as Terzaghi's effective stress does for saturated soils has introduced a long standing debate, dating back to the 1960s. Several contributions have been…
