This has been mainly due to new applications of statistical physics, including percolation theory, fractal concepts and self-organized criticality. This collection of articles brings together research in those closely allied fields. It deals with problems in material science involving random geometries and nonlinearity at a mesoscopic scale, where local disorder and nonlinearity influence the global behaviour of cracks, for example, and problems where randomness in time evolution is as crucial as the geometry itself. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v437 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aMechanics 606 $aMechanics, Applied 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aMathematical Methods in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 606 $aClassical Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21018 606 $aTheoretical and Applied Mechanics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15001 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aMechanics, Applied. 615 14$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aMathematical Methods in Physics. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 615 24$aClassical Mechanics. 615 24$aTheoretical and Applied Mechanics. 676 $a620.1/123 702 $aBardhan$b Kamal K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChakrabarti$b Bikas K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHansen$b Alex$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910257419203321 996 $aNon-linearity and breakdown in soft condensed matter$91502121 997 $aUNINA
