Brownian forces in sheared granular matter
Andrea Baldassarri, Fergal Dalton, Alberto Petri +3
We present results from a series of experiments on a granular medium sheared in a Couette geometry and show that their statistical properties can be computed in a quantitative way…

Vortex nucleation and flux front propagation in type II superconductors
Stefano Zapperi, Jose S. Andrade, Andre A. Moreira
We study flux penetration in a disordered type II superconductor by simulations of interacting vortices, using a Monte Carlo method for vortex nucleation. Our results show that a d…
