摘要
We have investigated the mean-field dynamics of an overdamped viscoelastic medium driven through quenched disorder. The model allows for the coexistence of pinned and sliding regions and can exhibit continuous elastic depinning or first-order hysteretic depinning. Numerical simulations indicate mean-field instabilities that correspond to macroscopic stick-slip events and lead to premature switching. The model describes the elastic and plastic dynamics of driven vortex arrays in superconductors and other extended disordered systems.
