Computer simulation of fatigue under diametrical compression
H. A. Carmona, F. Kun, J. S. Andrade +1
We study the fatigue fracture of disordered materials by means of computer simulations of a discrete element model. We extend a two-dimensional fracture model to capture the micros…
Damage and Healing in Fatigue Fracture
F. Kun, M. H. A. S. Costa, R. N. Costa Filho +4
We present an experimental and theoretical study of the fatigue failure of asphalt under cyclic compression. Varying the load amplitude, experiments reveal a finite fatigue limit b…
Screening effects in flow through rough channels
J. S. Andrade, A. D. Araújo, M. Filoche +1
A surprising similarity is found between the distribution of hydrodynamic stress on the wall of an irregular channel and the distribution of flux from a purely Laplacian field on t…
Periodic Neural Activity Induced by Network Complexity
D. R. Paula, A. D. Araujo, J. S. Andrade +2
We study a model for neural activity on the small-world topology of Watts and Strogatz and on the scale-free topology of Barabási and Albert. We find that the topology of the netwo…
Competitive cluster growth in complex networks
Andre A. Moreira, Demetrius R. Paula, Raimundo N. Costa Filho +1
Understanding the process by which the individuals of a society make up their minds and reach opinions about different issues can be of fundamental importance. In this work we prop…
