Yielding, shear banding, and brittle failure of amorphous materials (2022)
Journal Article
Pollard, J., & Fielding, S. M. (2022). Yielding, shear banding, and brittle failure of amorphous materials. Physical Review Research, 4(4), Article 043037. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.4.043037

Widespread processes in nature and technology are governed by the dynamical transition whereby a material in an initially solid-like state, whether soft or hard, then yields. Major unresolved questions concern whether any material will yield smoothly... Read More about Yielding, shear banding, and brittle failure of amorphous materials.

Perspectives on viscoelastic flow instabilities and elastic turbulence (2022)
Journal Article
Datta, S. S., Ardekani, A. M., Arratia, P. E., Beris, A. N., Bischofberger, I., McKinley, G. H., Eggers, J. G., López-Aguilar, J. E., Fielding, S. M., Frishman, A., Graham, M. D., Guasto, J. S., Haward, S. J., Shen, A. Q., Hormozi, S., Morozov, A., Poole, R. J., Shankar, V., Shaqfeh, E. S., Stark, H., …Stone, H. A. (2022). Perspectives on viscoelastic flow instabilities and elastic turbulence. Physical Review Fluids, 7(8), Article 080701. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevfluids.7.080701

Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of viscoelastic fluids are unstable in situations where ordinary Newtonian fluids... Read More about Perspectives on viscoelastic flow instabilities and elastic turbulence.

Power fluctuations in sheared amorphous materials: A minimal model (2022)
Journal Article
Ekeh, T., Fodor, É., Fielding, S. M., & Cates, M. E. (2022). Power fluctuations in sheared amorphous materials: A minimal model. Physical Review E, 105(5), Article L052601. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.105.l052601

The importance of mesoscale fluctuations in flowing amorphous materials is widely accepted, without a clear understanding of their role. We propose a mean-field elastoplastic model that admits both stress and strain-rate fluctuations, and investigate...

Shear-Driven Solidification and Nonlinear Elasticity in Epithelial Tissues (2022)
Journal Article
Huang, J., Cochran, J. O., Fielding, S. M., Marchetti, M. C., & Bi, D. (2022). Shear-Driven Solidification and Nonlinear Elasticity in Epithelial Tissues. Physical Review Letters, 128(17), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.128.178001

Biological processes, from morphogenesis to tumor invasion, spontaneously generate shear stresses inside living tissue. The mechanisms that govern the transmission of mechanical forces in epithelia and the collective response of the tissue to bulk sh...
