Emergence of linear isotropic elasticity in amorphous and polycrystalline materials

We investigate the emergence of isotropic linear elasticity in amorphous and polycrystalline solids via extensive numerical simulations. We show that the elastic properties are correlated over a finite length scale ξE, so that the central limit theorem dictates the emergence of continuum linear isot...
