Quasi-rigidity means that one builds a theory for assemblies of grains under a slowly changing external load by using the deformation of those grains as a small parameter. Is quasi-rigidity a complete theory for these granular assemblies?…
Aequous dielectrics are ubiquitous in soft- and bio-nano matter systems. The theoretical description of such systems in terms of continuum (`macroscopic') theory remains a serious challenge. In this perspective we first review the existing…
Many practical approximations in physics and engineering invoke a relatively long physical domain with a relatively thin cross-section. In this scenario we typically expect the system to have structures that vary slowly in the long…
