Effect of rolling on dissipation in fault gouge
F Alonso-Marroquin, I. Vardoulakis, H. J. Herrmann +2
Sliding and rolling are two outstanding deformation modes in granular media. The first one induces frictional dissipation whereas the latter one involves deformation with negligibl…
Influence of particle shape on sheared dense granular media
A. A. Peña, R. García-Rojo, H. J. Herrmann
We study by means of molecular dynamics simulations of periodic shear cells, the influence of particle shape on the global mechanical behavior of dense granular media. Results at m…
The spread of gossip in American schools
Pedro G. Lind, Luciano R. da Silva, José S. Andrade +1
We study different mechanisms of gossip propagation on several network topologies and introduce a new network property, the "spread factor", describing the fraction of neighbors th…
