Interplay between hysteresis and nonlocality during onset and arrest of flow in granular materials
Saviz Mowlavi, Ken Kamrin
The jamming transition in granular materials is well-known for exhibiting hysteresis, wherein the level of shear stress required to trigger flow is larger than that below which flo…

Contact model for elastically anisotropic bodies and efficient implementation into the discrete-element method
Saviz Mowlavi, Ken Kamrin
We introduce a contact law for the normal force generated between two contacting, elastically anisotropic bodies of arbitrary geometry. The only requirement is that their surfaces…

Particle size selection in capillary instability of locally heated co-axial fiber
Saviz Mowlavi, Isha Shukla, PT Brun +1
Harnessing fluidic instabilities to produce structures with robust and regular properties has recently emerged as a new fabrication paradigm. This is exemplified in the work of Gum…
