Here we will address the challenge of uncovering how, through randomness (albeit, as we shall see, strongly correlated randomness), one can arrive at some of the many spatial and temporal patterns in biology, medicine, and economics and even begin to characterize the switching phenomena that enables a system to pass from one state to another.
It has been investigated in computer simulations how the randomness (≙ irregularity) of the arrangement of particles in the glide plane affects the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of materials strengthened by shearable nano-scale particles.
