Much of the progress achieved in understanding plasticity and failure in amorphous solids had been achieved using experiments and simulations in which the materials were loaded using strain control. There is paucity of results under stress…
The emergence of a body axis is a fundamental step in the development of multicellular organisms. In simple systems such as $\textit{Hydra}$, growing evidence suggests that mechanical forces generated by collective cellular activity play a…

An elastic rod, straight in its undeformed state, has a mass attached at one end and a variable length, due to a constraint at the other end by a frictionless sliding sleeve. The constraint is arranged with the sliding direction parallel to…
When a flat elastic strip is compressed along its axis, it is bent in one of two possible directions via spontaneous symmetry breaking and forms a cylindrical arc, a phenomenon well known as Euler buckling. When this cylindrical section is…
We derive a non-linear one-dimensional (1d) strain gradient model predicting the necking of soft elastic cylinders driven by surface tension, starting from 3d finite-strain elasticity. It is asymptotically correct: the microscopic…

The subject of this work is the instability mechanism of simple shear flows, like Hagen-Poiseuille pipe flow, which is a long-standing problem in fluid mechanics [1,2]. A possible analogy with phenomenological theory of ideal plasticity in…
Rheology aims at quantifying the response of materials to mechanical forcing. However, standard rheometers provide only global macroscopic quantities, such as viscoelastic moduli. They fail to capture the heterogeneous flow of soft…
