Dense pedestrian crowds versus granular packings: An analogy of sorts
Alexandre Nicolas
Analogies between the dynamics of pedestrian crowds and granular media have long been hinted at.They seem all the more promising as the crowd is (very) dense, in which case the mec…

Orientation of plastic rearrangements in two-dimensional model glasses under shear
Alexandre Nicolas, Jörg Rottler
The plastic deformation of amorphous solids is mediated by localized shear transformations involving small groups of particles rearranging irreversibly in an elastic background. We…

Elastic consequences of a single plastic event: towards a realistic account of structural disorder and shear wave propagation in models of flowing amorphous solids
Alexandre Nicolas, Francesco Puosi, Hideyuki Mizuno +1
Shear transformations (i.e., localised rearrangements of particles resulting in the shear deformation of a small region of the sample) are the building blocks of mesoscale models f…
