Influence of Rotations on the Critical State of Soil Mechanics [PDF]
, 2010 The ability of grains to rotate can play a crucial role on the collective behavior of granular media. It has been observed in computer simulations that imposing a torque at the contacts modifies the force chains, making support chains less important.

Approximation of the Generalized Lame Equations by the Strain Energy Functional [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management SciencesThis paper considers a linear system of partial differential equations (PDEs) to describe the stress-strain state of a two-phase body under static load, such as water-saturated soil.

The influence of anisotropic growth and geometry on the stress of solid tumors [PDF]
, 2017 Solid stresses can affect tumor patho-physiology in at least two ways: directly, by compressing cancer and stromal cells, and indirectly, by deforming blood and lymphatic vessels.

Lagrangian velocity and acceleration correlations of large inertial particles in a closed turbulent flow [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the response of large inertial particle to turbulent fluctuations in a inhomogeneous and anisotropic flow. We conduct a Lagrangian study using particles both heavier and lighter than the surrounding fluid, and whose diameters are ...
