We briefly review three classes of systems where avalanches are observed: depinning transition of disordered interfaces, yielding of amorphous materials, and the jamming transition. Without extensive formalism, we discuss results gleaned from theoretical approaches -- mean-field theory, scaling and exponent relations, the renormalization group, and a few results from replica theory. We focus both on the remarkably sophisticated physics of avalanches and on relatively new approaches to the macroscopic flow behavior exhibited past the depinning/yielding transition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-08T12:24:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disordered systems", "avalanches", "deformation", "macroscopic flow behavior", "transition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
