Molten lava and yogurt and are well-known examples of non-Newtonian fluids, also known as soft solids. A soft solid can act like either a solid or a liquid, based upon the stress that has acted upon ...

Research in mechanics of solids mainly includes fundamental theory (elasticity, plasticity, variational principles, fatigue and fracture of materials and structures,and inelastic constitutive ...

In recent months, I’ve mentioned super-solids a couple of times, which is a bit unusual for something we haven’t been sure actually exists. However, a recent paper seems to offer some quite strong ...
