Soft glassy materials far from their glass transition (low temperature, high density) exhibit divergent relaxation timescales and behave essentially as solids in absence of driving or biological activity.In this thesis, we investigate the dynamics, rheology and large scale organization of various types of (athermal) soft amorphous materials resulting either from an externally imposed driving (shear or vibration), from a local activity, or both.The main question behind the different projects constituting this thesis is: how do distinct sources of mechanical noise affect the fluidization and large scale organization of soft amorphous materials and how to account for it in coarse-grained descriptions?To this aim, we use a multi-scale modeling ...
