Owing to lack of time translational invariance, aging soft glassy materials do not obey fundamental principles of linear viscoelasticity. We show that by transforming the linear viscoelastic framework from the real time domain to the…
The movement of a purely elastic interface driven on a disordered energy potential is characterized by a depinning transition: when the pulling force S is larger than some critical value S_1 the system is in a flowing regime and moves at a…
We consider problems of dynamic viscoelasticity taking into account the coupling of elastic and thermal fields. Efficient approximate models are developed and computational results on thermomechanical behaviour of shape-memory-alloy…

The behavior of polymers in combined flow and electric fields underlies many manufacturing processes but remains poorly understood. To address this, we model charged polymers across scales. We extend the original Rouse model for a…
Multivariate Bessel processes, otherwise known as radial Dunkl processes, are stochastic processes defined in a Weyl chamber that are repelled from the latter's boundary by a singular drift with a strength given by the multiplicity function…

We present a theoretical framework for the linear and nonlinear visco-elastic properties of reversibly crosslinked networks of semiflexible polymers. In contrast to affine models where network strain couples to the polymer end-to-end…
A discrete model describing defects in crystal lattices and having the standard linear anisotropic elasticity as its continuum limit is proposed. The main ingredients entering the model are the elastic stiffness constants of the material…
The framework of this article is cell motility modeling. Approximating cells as rigid spheres we take into account for both non-penetration and adhesions forces. Adhesions are modeled as a memory-like microscopic elastic forces. This leads…
