Contrary to the case of simple fluids, a finite stress is required to initiate the flow of amorphous solids, a broad class of materials ranging from bulk metallic glasses to dense emulsions. The objective of this thesis is to model the flow of these materials in a general framework, with an emphasis on heterogeneities. In a first approach, using the liquid regime as a starting point, I have investigated to what extent inhomogeneities can be accommodated in the framework of the mode-coupling theory of rheology. A generic equation for the evolution of density inhomogeneities has been derived. At low temperatures, the flow is indeed quite heterogeneous: it consists of periods of elastic deformation interspersed with swift localised rearrangeme...
