Modeling Large-Scale Adversarial Swarm Engagements using Optimal Control
Claire Walton, Isaac Kaminer, Qi Gong +2
We study optimal control of large-scale autonomous systems under adversarial conditions in which agents may be probabilistically destroyed during an engagement. Because attrition c…
Frictional weakening of vibrated granular flows
Abram H. Clark, H. John Nasrin, Stephanie E. Taylor +1
We computationally study the frictional properties of sheared granular media subjected to harmonic vibration applied at the boundary. Such vibrations are thought to play an importa…
Modeling and Control of Large-Scale Adversarial Swarm Engagements
Theodoros Tsatsanifos, Abram H. Clark, Claire Walton +2
We theoretically and numerically study the problem of optimal control of large-scale autonomous systems under explicitly adversarial conditions, including probabilistic destruction…
Darcy-Reynolds forces during intrusion into granular-fluid beds
Joshua Strader, Neil Causley, Joshua A. Dijksman +1
We experimentally study intrusion into fluid-saturated granular beds by a free-falling sphere, varying particle size and fluid viscosity. We test our results against Darcy-Reynolds…
Viscous-like forces control the impact response of shear-thickening dense suspensions
Marc-Andre Brassard, Neil Causley, Nasser Krizou +2
We experimentally and theoretically study impacts into dense cornstarch and water suspensions. We vary impact speed as well as intruder size, shape, and mass, and we characterize t…
The physics of sediment transport initiation, cessation, and entrainment across aeolian and fluvial environments
Thomas Pähtz, Abram H. Clark, Manousos Valyrakis +1
Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment…
