Fragmentation processes in two-phase materials
Humberto A. Carmona, Anderson V. Guimarães, José S. Andrade Junior +3
We investigate the fragmentation process of solid materials with crystalline and amorphous phases using the discrete element method. Damage initiates inside spherical samples above…
Modelling the influence of photospheric turbulence on solar flare statistics
M. Mendoza, A. Kaydul, L. de Arcangelis +2
Solar flares stem from the reconnection of twisted magnetic field lines in the solar photosphere. The energy and waiting time distributions of these events follow complex patterns…
Rheological Model for Wood
Mohammad Masoud Hassani, Falk K. Wittel, Stefan Hering +1
Wood as the most important natural and renewable building material plays an important role in the construction sector. Nevertheless, its hygroscopic character basically affects all…
Mandala Networks: ultra-robust, ultra-small-world and highly sparse graphs
C. I. N. Sampaio Filho, A. A. Moreira, R. F. S. Andrade +2
The increasing demands in security and reliability of infrastructures call for the optimal design of their embedded complex networks topologies. The following question then arises:…
Revealing the structure of the world airline network
Trivik Verma, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Hans J Herrmann
Resilience of most critical infrastructures against failure of elements that appear insignificant is usually taken for granted. The World Airline Network (WAN) is an infrastructure…
Usage leading to an abrupt collapse of connectivity
D. V. Stäger, N. A. M. Araújo, H. J. Herrmann
Network infrastructures are essential for the distribution of resources such as electricity and water. Typical strategies to assess their resilience focus on the impact of a sequen…
