Microscopic origin of granular ratcheting
S. McNamara, R. García-Rojo, H. J. Herrmann
Numerical simulations of assemblies of grains under cyclic loading exhibit ``granular ratcheting'': a small net deformation occurs with each cycle, leading to a linear accumulation…

Quasi-rigidity: some uniqueness issues
S. McNamara, H. J. Herrmann
Quasi-rigidity means that one builds a theory for assemblies of grains under a slowly changing external load by using the deformation of those grains as a small parameter. Is quasi…

Shearing behavior of polydisperse media
Martin Wackenhut, Sean McNamara, Hans Herrmann
We study the shearing of polydisperse and bidisperse media with a size ratio of 10. Simulations are performed with a the two dimensional shear cell using contact dynamics. With a t…
