Models of plastic depinning of driven disordered systems [PDF]

open access: yesPramana 64, 1097 (2005), 2005
Two classes of models of driven disordered systems that exhibit history-dependent dynamics are discussed. The first class incorporates local inertia in the dynamics via nonmonotonic stress transfer between adjacent degrees of freedom. The second class allows for proliferation of topological defects due to the interplay of strong disorder and drive.
