Thermodynamics of bouncing grains
Olivier Devauchelle, Predrag Popović, Piotr Szymczak +2
When a horizontal plate vibrates strongly enough, it causes small particles such as sand grains to continually bounce on it and, over time, to diffuse across its surface. This phen…
A granular Büttiker-Landauer motor
Olivier Devauchelle, Predrag Popović, Piotr Szymczak +2
Random walkers usually diffuse according to Fick's law. On average, they move down the gradient of their concentration and, in the absence of external force, tend to distribute the…
Frictional weakening induced by cohesion: the numerical case of cohesive granular failures
Lydie Staron, Laurent Duchemin, Anais Abramian +1
The failure of 2D numerical cohesive granular steps collapsing under gravity are simulated for a large range of cohesion. Focussing on the cumulative displacement of the grains, an…
Sediment load determines the shape of rivers
Predrag Popović, Olivier Devauchelle, Anaïs Abramian +1
Understanding how rivers adjust to the sediment load they carry is critical to predicting the evolution of landscapes. Presently, however, no physically based model reliably captur…
Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells
Anais Abramian, Emmanuel Virot, Emilio Lozano +2
From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at whic…
Boltzmann distribution of sediment transport
A. Abramian, O. Devauchelle, G. Seizilles +1
The coupling of sediment transport with the flow that drives it allows rivers to shape their own bed. Cross-stream fluxes of sediment play a crucial, yet poorly understood, role in…
Artificial Rheotaxis
Jeremie Palacci, Stefano Sacanna, Anais Abrahmian +5
Motility is a basic feature of living microorganisms, and how it works is often determined by environmental cues. Recent efforts have focused on develop- ing artificial systems tha…
