A model of shear thickening in dense suspensions of Brownian soft sphere colloidal particles is established. It suggests that shear thickening in soft sphere suspensions can be interpreted as a shear induced phase transition. Based on a…
Two models are proposed to predict the evolution of shear band width as a function of applied strain for simulated glasses mechanically deformed in simple shear. The first model arises from dimensional analysis and an assumption that band…
We construct iteratively a sequence of numbers k_{n} and Beurling functions A_{n} converging pointwise to -1 in [0,1]. We prove results which seems to suggest that each A_{n} is equal to a well known approximating sequence of functions…
The backward chordal Schramm-Loewner Evolution naturally defines a conformal welding homeomorphism of the real line. We show that this homeomorphism is invariant under the automorphism $x\mapsto -1/x$, and conclude that the associated…
The ubiquitous appearance of regions of localized deformation (shear bands) in different kinds of disordered materials under shear is studied in the context of a mesoscopic model of plasticity. The model may or may not include relaxational…
In this paper, we study shearing spherically symmetric homogeneous density fluids in comoving coordinates. It is found that the expansion of the four-velocity of a perfect fluid is homogeneous, whereas its shear is generated by an arbitrary…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the construction of a linear operator, referred to as the bubble transform, which maps scalar functions defined on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ into a collection of functions with local…
We prove that the linearization of a germ of holomorphic map of the type $F_\lambda(z)=\lambda(z+O(z^2))$ has a $ C^1$--holomorphic dependence on the multiplier $\lambda$. $C^1$--holomorphic functions are $ C^1$--Whitney smooth functions,…
This paper is concerned with qualitative properties of bounded steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stagnation point in the two-dimensional plane R^2. We show that any such flow is a shear flow, that is, it is parallel to…
We consider a natural generalization of braids which we call shrinking braids. We state the relations of shrinking braids and use them to define algebraically the monoid $R$. We endow a subset of $R$ with a \emph{left distributive monoid}…
We demonstrate the large scale effects of the interplay between shape and hard core interactions in a system with left- and right-pointing arrowheads ~$\textless ~~ \textgreater$~ on a line, with reorientation dynamics. This interplay leads…
We consider the defocusing nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation in several space dimensions, in the presence of an external potential depending on only one space vari-able. This potential is bounded from below, and may grow arbitrarily fast…
This work brings together the moment matching approach based on Loewner functions and the classical Loewner framework based on the Loewner pencil in the case of bilinear systems. New Loewner functions are defined based on the bilinear…
A shear band of finite length, formed inside a ductile material at a certain stage of a con- tinued homogeneous strain, provides a dynamic perturbation to an incident wave field, which strongly influences the dynamics of the material and…
We introduce a stochastic version of Gubinelli's sewing lemma, providing a sufficient condition for the convergence in moments of some random Riemann sums. Compared with the deterministic sewing lemma, adaptiveness is required and the…
We show that the notion of generalized Lenard chains naturally allows formulation of the theory of multi-separable and superintegrable systems in the context of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We prove that the existence of generalized Lenard…
We investigate strongly separately continuous functions on a product of topological spaces and prove that if $X$ is a countable product of real lines, then there exists a strongly separately continuous function $f:X\to\mathbb R$ which is…
We establish a linearization criterion for skew products of contractions in any dimension. We prove their smooth or holomorphic parameter dependence. In the smooth setting, we use the language of tame Fr\'echet spaces. We apply our result…
We develop an elementary theory of divisibility on the monoid $M(n,R)^\times$ consisting of all square matrices of size $n\ge 1$ of non-zero determinants with coefficients in a principal ideal domain $R$. In particular, we show that any…
It has long been thought that shear band (SB) formation in amorphous solids initiates from relatively 'soft' regions in the material in which large-scale non-affine deformations become localized. The test of this hypothesis requires an…
