We consider disordered solids in which the microscopic elements can deform plastically in response to stresses on them. We show that by driving the system periodically, this plasticity can be exploited to train in desired elastic…

The phase lag between an applied forcing and a response to that forcing is a fundamen tal parameter in geophysical signal processing. For solid deforming materials, the phase lag between an oscillatory applied stress and the resulting…

Cold compaction of ceramic powders is driven by plastic strain, during which the elastic stiffness of the material progressively increases from values typical of granular matter to those representative of a fully dense solid. This increase…
