The role of gravity or pressure and contact stiffness in granular rheology
New Journal of Physics, 2015 The steady-state shear rheology of granular materials is investigated in slow quasistatic and inertial flows. The effect of gravity (thus the local pressure) and the often-neglected contact stiffness are the focus of this study.

A general(ized) local rheology for wet granular materials
New Journal of Physics, 2017 We study the rheology of dry and wet granular materials in the steady quasistatic regime using the discrete element method in a split-bottom ring shear cell with focus on the macroscopic friction.

Syndemics and the PrEP Cascade: Results from a Sample of Young Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men. [PDF]
, 2019 Young Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) are a highly vulnerable population for HIV infection. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a novel biomedical HIV prevention tool that may aid in reducing the disparity in HIV incidence among Latino MSM. However,

Micromechanics of non-active clays in saturated state and DEM modelling
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The paper presents a conceptual micromechanical model for 1-D compression behaviour of non-active clays in saturated state. An experimental investigation was carried out on kaolin clay samples saturated with fluids of different pH and dielectric ...

Low-frequency oscillations in narrow vibrated granular systems
New Journal of Physics, 2013 We present simulations and a theoretical treatment of vertically vibrated granular media. The systems considered are confined in narrow quasi-two-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional (column) geometries, where the vertical extension of the container is ...
