Relaxation in glasses is often approximated by a stretched-exponential form: $f(t) = A \exp [-(t/\tau)^{\beta}]$. Here, we show that the relaxation in a model of sheared non-Brownian suspensions developed by Cort\'e et al. [Nature Phys. 4,…
A dissipative stochastic sandpile model is constructed on one and two dimensional small-world networks with different shortcut densities $\phi$ where $\phi=0$ and $1$ represent a regular lattice and a random network respectively. In the…
A minimal athermal model for the flow of dense disordered materials is proposed, based on two generic ingredients: local plastic events occuring above a microscopic yield stress, and the non-local elastic release of the stress these events…
The dynamical properties of the site frustrated percolation model are investigated and compared with those of glass forming liquids. When the density of the particles on the lattice becomes high enough, the dynamics of the model becomes…
Elastic and dissipative properties of granular assemblies under uniaxial compression are studied both experimentally and by numerical simulations. Following a novel compaction procedure at varying oscillatory pressures, the stress response…
We study the surface roughness of prototype models displaying self-organized criticality (SOC) and their noncritical variants in one dimension. For SOC systems, we find that two seemingly equivalent definitions of surface roughness yields…
We present simulation results for the dynamics of a schematic model based on the frustration-limited domain picture of glass-forming liquids. These results are compared with approximate theoretical predictions analogous to those commonly…
Elastoplastic and constitutive equation theories are two approaches based on very different assumptions for creating a continuum theory for the stress distributions in a static sandpile. Both models produce the same surprising prediction…
A directed dissipative sandpile model is studied in the two-dimension. Numerical results indicate that the long time steady states of this model are critical when grains are dropped only at the top or, everywhere. The critical behaviour is…
We present a new approach to the modelling of stress propagation in static granular media, focussing on the conical sandpile constructed from a point source. We view the medium as consisting of cohesionless hard particles held up by static…
Elastic models of the glass transition relate the relaxation dynamics and the elastic properties of structural glasses. They are based on the assumption that the relaxation dynamics occurs through activated events in the energy landscape…
A variational model of pressure-dependent plasticity employing a time-incremental setting is introduced. A novel formulation of the dissipation potential allows one to construct the condensed energy in a variationally consistent manner. For…
In the single-source sandpile model, a number $N$ grains of sand are positioned at a central vertex on the 2-dimensional grid $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We study the stabilisation of this configuration for a stochastic sandpile model based on a…
Self-Organized Criticality is the emergence of long-ranged spatio-temporal correlations in non-equilibrium steady states of slowly driven systems without fine tuning of any control parameter. Sandpiles were proposed as prototypical examples…
We demonstrate how to model the toppling activity in avalanching systems by stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The theory is developed as a generalization of the classical mean field approach to sandpile dynamics by formulating it as…
We consider a stochastic sandpile where the sand-grains of unstable sites are randomly distributed to the nearest neighbors. Increasing the value of the threshold condition the stochastic character of the distribution is lost and a…
Presented here is a study of well-posedness and asymptotic stability of a "degenerately damped" PDE modeling a vibrating elastic string. The coefficient of the damping may vanish at small amplitudes thus weakening the effect of the…
A stochastic model is presented for a super-position of uncorrelated pulses with a random distribution of amplitudes, sizes, velocities and arrival times. The pulses are assumed to move radially with fixed shape and amplitudes decaying…
It is now possible to routinely perform atomistic simulations at the microsecond timescale. In the present work, we exploit this for a model binary Lennard-Jones glass to study structural relaxation at a timescale spanning up to 80…
We consider the abelian stochastic sandpile model. In this model, a site is deemed unstable when it contains more than one particle. Each unstable site, independently, is toppled at rate $1$, sending two of its particles to neighbouring…
