Non-local physics-informed neural networks for forward and inverse solutions of granular flows

Saghar Zolfaghari, Safa Jamali

Dense granular flows exhibit nonlocal effects due to stress transmission in microplastic events, especially in quasi-static or slowly sheared regions. Hence, traditional local rheo…

Detecting hidden structures from a static loading experiment: topology optimization meets physics-informed neural networks

Saviz Mowlavi, Ken Kamrin

Most noninvasive imaging techniques utilize electromagnetic or acoustic waves originating from multiple locations and directions to identify hidden geometrical structures. Surprisi…

Mechanistic framework for reduced-order models in soft materials: Application to three-dimensional granular intrusion

Shashank Agarwal, Daniel I Goldman, Ken Kamrin

Soft materials often display complex behaviors that transition through apparent solid- and fluid-like regimes. While a growing number of microscale simulation methods exist for the…

An incompressible Eulerian method for fluid-structure interaction with mixed soft and rigid solids

Xiaolin Wang, Ken Kamrin, Chris H. Rycroft

We present a general simulation approach for incompressible fluid--structure interactions in a fully Eulerian framework using the reference map technique (RMT). The approach is sui…

Modeling silo clogging with nonlocal granular rheology

Sachith Dunatunga, Ken Kamrin

Granular flow in a silo demonstrates multiple nonlocal rheological phenomena due to the finite size of grains. We solve the Nonlocal Granular Fluidity (NGF) continuum model in quas…

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…
