Slowly driven elastic interfaces, such as domain walls in dirty magnets, contact lines, or cracks proceed via intermittent motion, called avalanches. We develop a field-theoretic treatment to calculate, from first principles, the space-time…
A classical long-range-interacting $N$-particle system relaxes to thermal equilibrium on time scales growing with $N$; in the limit $N\to \infty$ such a relaxation time diverges. However, a completely non-collisional relaxation process,…
Disordered systems are characterized by the existence of many sample- dependent local energy minima, that cause a stepwise response when the system is perturbed. In this article we use an approach based on elementary probabilistic methods…
We review the theoretical description of the random field Ising and $O(N)$ models obtained from the functional renormalization group, either in its nonperturbative implementation or, in some limits, in perturbative implementations. The…
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…
Hysteresis, the lag between the force and the response, is often associated with noisy, jerky motion which have recently been called ``avalanches''. The interesting question is why the avalanches come in such a variety of sizes: naively one…
We consider the particle current in the asymmetric avalanche process on a ring. It is known to exhibit a transition from the intermittent to continuous flow at the critical density of particles. The exact expressions for the first two…
Physical systems characterized by stick-slip dynamics often display avalanches. Regardless of the diversity of their microscopic structure, these systems are governed by a power-law distribution of avalanche size and duration. Here we focus…
We study the temporal evolution of avalanches in the fiber bundle model of disordered solids, when the model is gradually driven towards the critical breakdown point. We use two types of loading protocols: (i) the quasi-static loading, and…
The influence of the tail features of the local magnetic field probability density function (PDF) on the ferromagnetic Ising model is studied in the limit of infinite range interactions. Specifically, we assign a quenched random field whose…
We build a mean-field model of plasticity of amorphous solids, based on the dynamics of an ensemble shear transformation zones, interacting via intrinsic dynamical noise generated by the zone flips themselves. We compare the quasi-static,…
We study the dynamics of the separation (gap) between a pair of interacting run and tumble particles (RTPs) moving in one dimension in the presence of additional thermal noise. On a ring geometry the distribution of the gap approaches a…
We study numerically the zero temperature Random Field Ising Model on cubic lattices of various linear sizes $ 6 \le L \le 90 $ in three dimensions with the purpose of verifying the validity of universality for disordered systems. For each…
We model the dynamics of avalanches in granular assemblies in partly filled rotating cylinders using a mean-field approach. We show that, upon varying the cylinder angular velocity $\omega$, the system undergoes a hysteresis cycle between…
We study numerically the region above the critical temperature of the four dimensional Random Field Ising Model. Using a cluster dynamic we measure the connected and disconnected magnetic susceptibility and the connected and disconnected…
We study the scaling properties of avalanche activity in the two-dimensional Abelian sandpile model. Instead of the conventional avalanche size distribution, we analyze the site activity distribution, which measures how often a site…
We study critical hysteresis in the random-field Ising model (RFIM) on a two-dimensional periodic lattice with a variable coordination number $z_{eff}$ in the range $3 \le z_{eff} \le 6$. We find that the model supports critical behavior in…
We performed computer simulations based on a two-dimensional Distinct Element Method to study granular systems of magnetized spherical particles. We measured the angle of repose and the surface roughness of particle piles, and we studied…
Stress vs. strain fluctuations in athermal amorphous solids are an example of `crackling noise' of the type studied extensively in the context of elastic membranes moving through random potentials. Contrary to the latter, we do not have a…
In many complex systems a continuous input of energy over time can be suddenly relaxed in the form of avalanches. Conventional avalanche models disregard the possibility of internal dynamical effects in the inter-avalanche periods, and thus…
