Pedestrian flows through a narrow doorway: Effect of individual behaviours on the global flow and microscopic dynamics
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
We study the dynamics of pedestrian evacuations through a narrow doorway by means of controlled experiments. The influence of the pedestrians' behaviours is investigated by prescri…
Influence of selfish and polite behaviours on a pedestrian evacuation through a narrow exit: A quantitative characterisation
Alexandre Nicolas, Sebastián Bouzat, Marcelo Kuperman
We study the influence of selfish vs. polite behaviours on the dynamics of a pedestrian evacuation through a narrow exit. To this end, experiments involving about 80 participants w…
Universal and non-universal features in coarse-grained models of flow in disordered solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Kirsten Martens, Lydéric Bocquet +1
We study the two-dimensional (2D) shear flow of amorphous solids within variants of an elastoplastic model, paying particular attention to spatial correlations and time fluctuation…
Spatiotemporal correlations between plastic events in the shear flow of athermal amorphous solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Joerg Rottler, Jean-Louis Barrat
The slow flow of amorphous solids exhibits striking heterogeneities: swift localised particle rearrangements take place in the midst of a more or less homogeneously deforming mediu…
