Root growth and force chains in a granular soil
M. Fakih, J. -Y. Delenne, F. Radjai +1
Roots provide basic functions to plants such as water/nutrient uptake and anchoring in soil. The growth and development of root systems contribute to colonizing the surrounding soi…
Crack growth in heterogeneous brittle solids : Intermittency, crackling and induced seismicity
Jonathan Barés, Daniel Bonamy
Crack growth is the basic mechanism leading to the failure of brittle materials. Engineering addresses this problem within the framework of continuum mechanics, which links determi…
On the quasi-static effective behaviour of poroelastic media containing elastic inclusions
Pascale Royer, Pierre Recho, Claude Verdier
The aim of the present study is to derive the effective quasi-static behaviour of a composite medium, made of a poroelastic matrix containing elastic impervious inclusions. For thi…
Advection-diffusion in porous media with low scale separation: modelling via higher-order asymptotic homogenisation
Pascale Royer
Asymptotic multiple scale homogenisation allows to determine the effective behaviour of a porous medium by starting from the pore-scale description, when there is a large separatio…
Particle dynamics simulation of wet granulation in a rotating drum
Thanh Trung Vo, Saeid Nezamabadi, Patrick Mutabaruka +4
We simulate the granulation process of solid spherical particles in the presence of a viscous liquid in a horizontal rotating drum by using molecular dynamics simulations in three…
Seismicity in sheared granular matter
Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Joshua Socolar +1
We report on experiments investigating the dynamics of a slider that is pulled by a spring across a granular medium consisting of a vertical layer of photo-elastic disks. The motio…
Wayfinding through an unfamiliar environment
Yasmine Boumenir, Fanny Georges, Jeremy Valentin +2
Strategies for finding one's way through an unfamiliar environment may be helped by computer generated 2D maps, 3D virtual environments, or other navigation aids. The relative effe…
Why the brain knows more than we do: non-conscious representations and their role in the construction of conscious experience
Birgitta Dresp-Langley
Scientific studies have shown that non-conscious stimuli and representations influence information processing during conscious experience. In the light of such evidence, questions…
Visual spatial learning of complex object morphologies through interaction with virtual and real-world data
Chiara Silvestri, Rene Motro, Bernard Maurin +1
Conceptual design relies on extensive manipulation of morphological properties of real or virtual objects.This study investigates the nature of the perceptual information that coul…
Aftershock sequences and seismic-like organization of acoustic events produced by a single propagating crack
Jonathan Barés, Alizée Dubois, Lamine Hattali +2
Brittle fractures of inhomogeneous materials like rocks, concrete, or ceramics are of two types: Nominally brittle and driven by the propagation of a single dominant crack or quasi…
Impact of beads and drops on a repellent solid surface: a unified description
Sristhti Arora, Jean-Marc Fromental, Serge Mora +3
We investigate freely expanding sheets formed by ultrasoft gel beads, and liquid and viscoelastic drops, produced by the impact of the bead or drop on a silicon wafer covered with…
Crackling to periodic dynamics in sheared granular media
Aghil Abed Zadeh, Jonathan Barés, Robert Behringer
The local and global dynamics of a sheared granular medium are studied in a model experiment as a function of several macroscopic parameters. We observe that by changing the shear…
