A Microscopic, Experiment-Based View of the Yielding Transition - Part I

Explore a microscopic, experiment-based perspective on the yielding transition in this comprehensive lecture delivered by Luca Cipelletti. Delve into the intricate details of non-equilibrium processes in physics and biology as part of the Graduate School held at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) in August 2024. Gain valuable insights into the microscopic mechanisms underlying the yielding phenomenon through experimental observations and analysis. Examine the latest research findings and methodologies used to investigate this critical transition in materials science. Enhance your understanding of complex physical systems and their behavior under stress during this 90-minute presentation, which serves as the first part of a deeper exploration into the topic.
