Cutting self-similar space-filling sphere packings
D. V. Stäger, H. J. Herrmann
Any space-filling packing of spheres can be cut by a plane to obtain a space-filling packing of disks. Here, we deal with space-filling packings generated using inversive geometry…
Evolution of Strength and Failure of SCC during Early Hydration
Linus K. Mettler, Falk K. Wittel, Robert J. Flatt +1
The early strength evolution of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is studied by a set of non-standard mechanical tests for compressive, tensile, shear and bending failure. The resu…
Channelization in Porous Media driven by Erosion and Deposition
Robin Jäger, Miller Mendoza, Hans Jürgen Herrmann
We develop and validate a new model to study simultaneous erosion and deposition in three-dimensional porous media. We study the changes of the porous structure induced by the depo…
Itinerant conductance in fuse-antifuse networks
Cesar I. N. Sampaio Filho, Andre A. Moreira, Nuno A. N. Araujo +2
We report on a novel dynamic phase in electrical networks, in which current channels perpetually change in time. This occurs when the individual elements of the network are fuse-an…
Synaptic plasticity and neuronal refractory time cause scaling behaviour of neuronal avalanches
L. Michiels van Kessenich, L. de Arcangelis, H. J. Herrmann
Neuronal avalanches measured in vitro and in vivo in different cortical networks consistently exhibit power law behaviour for the size and duration distributions with exponents typ…
A mesoscopic approach to subcritical fatigue crack growth
Maycon S. Araújo, André P. Vieira, José S. Andrade +1
We investigate a model for fatigue crack growth in which damage accumulation is assumed to follow a power law of the local stress amplitude, a form which can be generically justifi…
