Bipotentials for non monotone multivalued operators: fundamental results and applications [PDF]
This is a survey of recent results about bipotentials representing multivalued operators. The notion of bipotential is based on an extension of Fenchel's inequality, with several interesting applications related to non associated constitutive laws in non

A Three-Field Variational Formulation for a Frictional Contact Problem with Prescribed Normal Stress
In the present work, we address a nonlinear boundary value problem that models frictional contact with prescribed normal stress between a deformable body and a foundation.

Earthquake response of adjacent structures with viscoelastic and friction dampers [PDF]
We study the seismic response of two adjacent structures connected with a dry friction damper. Each of them consists of a viscoelastic rod and a rigid block, which can slide without friction along the moving base.

Thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of a clayey rock: A constitutive approach and numerical validation
Temperature strongly affects the thermo-hydro-mechanical properties of clayey rocks. Using the Drucker–Prager Cap model and available experimental results, an advanced constitutive model is proposed to describe the influence of temperature on the hydro ...

Rate- and State-Dependent Friction Law and Statistical Properties of Earthquakes
In order to clarify how the statistical properties of earthquakes depend on the constitutive law characterizing the stick-slip dynamics, we make an extensive numerical simulation of the one-dimensional spring-block model with the rate- and state ...

Crucial role of side walls for granular surface flows: consequences for the rheology
In this paper we study the steady uniform flows that develop when granular material is released from a hopper on top of a static pile in a channel. We more specifically focus on the role of side walls by carrying out experiments in setup of different ...
