A new model has been developed to estimate the flow stress under hot deformation conditions up to the peak of the stress-strain curves. The model is constructed on the basis of the general form of sine functions by introducing an additional…
We show that the short-time critical exponent $\theta$ related to the critical initial slip in a stochastic model can be determined by the time correlation of the order parameter. In our procedure it suffices to start with an uncorrelated…
The statistics and origin of the first discrete plastic event in a one dislocation dynamics simulation are studied. This is done via a linear stability analysis of the evolving dislocation configuration up to the onset of irreversible…
We present a dynamical and dissipative lattice model, designed to mimic nuclear multifragmentation. Monte-Carlo simulations with this model show clear signature of critical behaviour and reproduce experimentally observed correlations. In…
Starting from a commensurate triangular thin solid strip, confined within two hard structureless walls, a stretch along its length introduces a rectangular distortion. Beyond a critical strain the solid fails through nucleation of…
A new method based on the R'-operation of the renormalization theory is proposed for the numerical calculation of the renormalization constants in the theory of critical behaviour. The problem of finding residues of the poles of the Green's…
The research reveals the existence of a constant characteristic time of preparatory micro-structural processes before the onset of macro-failure at various high loading rates of brittle and quasi-brittle materials. The presence of this…
We study the emergence of critical dynamics in the steady shear rheology of fluidized soft glassy materials. Within a mesoscale elasto-plastic model accounting for a shear band instability, we show how an additional noise can induce a…
In this paper, we introduce a freeze-out scheme for the dynamical models near the QCD critical point through coupling the decoupled classical particles with the order parameter field. With a modified distribution function that satisfies…
The critical dynamics of superconductors is studied using renormalization group and duality arguments. We show that in extreme type II superconductors the dynamic critical exponent is given exactly by $z=3/2$. This result does not rely on…
Fatigue simulation requires accurate modeling of unloading and reloading. However, classical ductile damage models treat deformations after complete failure as irrecoverable -- which leads to unphysical behavior during unloading. This…
The approach to the critical state -- the transition from partially elastic to perfectly plastic behavior -- is considered the most characteristic of granular phenomena in soil mechanics. By identifying the critical state as the…
A backward stable numerical calculation of a function with condition number $\kappa$ will have a relative accuracy of $\kappa\epsilon_{\text{machine}}$. Standard formulations and software implementations of finite-strain elastic materials…
The solution of the classic problem of stress in a rotating elastic disk or cylinder, as solved in standard texts on elasticity theory, has two features: dynamical equations are used that are valid only in an inertial frame of reference,…
Critical exponents are calculated exactly at the onset of an instability, using asymptotic expansiontechniques. When the unstable mode is subject to multiplicative noise whose spectrum at zero frequency vanishes, we show that the critical…
For a large class of repulsive interaction models, the Mayer cluster integrals can be transformed into a tridiagonal real symmetric matrix $R_{mn}$, whose elements converge to two constants. This allows for an effective extrapolation of the…

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the buckling of single-layer MoS2 under uniaxial compression. The strain rate is found to play an important role on the critical buckling strain, where higher strain rate leads to…
Customarily, crystalline solids are defined to be {\em rigid} since they resist changes of shape determined by their boundaries. However, rigid solids cannot exist in the thermodynamic limit where boundaries become irrelevant. Particles in…
