Yielding, shear banding, and brittle failure of amorphous materials

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 and gradually (“ductile” behavior) or fail abrupt...
