Fluctuations in pedestrian evacuation times: Going one step beyond the exit capacity paradigm for bottlenecks
Alexandre Nicolas
For safety reasons, it is important that the design of buildings and public facilities comply with the guidelines compiled in building codes.The latter are often premised on the co…
Soft modes and strain redistribution in continuous models of amorphous plasticity: the Eshelby paradigm, and beyond?
Xiangyu Cao, Alexandre Nicolas, Denny Trimcev +1
The deformation of disordered solids relies on swift and localised rearrangements of particles. The inspection of soft vibrational modes can help predict the locations of these rea…
Origin of the correlations between exit times in pedestrian flows through a bottleneck
Alexandre Nicolas, Ioannis Touloupas
Robust statistical features have emerged from the microscopic analysis of dense pedestrian flows through a bottleneck, notably with respect to the time gaps between successive pass…
A Trap Model for Clogging and Unclogging in Granular Hopper Flows
Alexandre Nicolas, Angel Garcimartín, Iker Zuriguel
Granular flows through narrow outlets may be interrupted by the formation of arches or vaults that clog the exit. These clogs may be destroyed by vibrations. A feature which remain…
Deformation and flow of amorphous solids: An updated review of mesoscale elastoplastic models
Alexandre Nicolas, Ezequiel E. Ferrero, Kirsten Martens +1
The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range de…
