We study the interfaces' time evolution in one-dimensional bistable extended dynamical systems with discrete time. The dynamics is governed by the competition between a local piece-wise affine bistable mapping and any couplings given by the…
The transition from static to dynamic friction when an elastic body is slid over another is now known to result from the motion of interface rupture fronts. These fronts may be either crack-like or pulse-like, with the latter involving…

Diffuse interface models are widely used to describe evolution of multi-phase systems of different nature. Dispersed "inclusions", described by the phase field distribution, are usually three dimensional objects. When describing elastic…
Compressing a porous, fluid-filled material will drive the interstitial fluid out of the pore space, as when squeezing water out of a kitchen sponge. Inversely, injecting fluid into a porous material can deform the solid structure, as when…
