This review addresses the hydride swelling and shrinking phenomenon, named hydride
breathing, when absorbing and desorbing hydrogen. Two aspects are particularly …

A complete continuum mechanical theory for granular media, including explicit expressions
for the energy current and the entropy production, is derived and explained. Its underlying …

Soft, disordered, micro-structured materials are ubiquitous in nature and industry, and are
different from ordinary fluids or solids, with unusual, interesting static and flow properties …

The spheropolyhedra method has been used earlier for efficient and accurate molecular
dynamics simulations of granular matter with particles with complex shapes. Also the …

I present a method to simulate complex-shaped interacting bodies, a problem which
appears in many areas, including molecular dynamics, material science, virtual reality, geo …

One of the most difficult aspect of the realistic modeling of granular materials is how to
capture the real shape of the particles. Here we present a method to simulate two …

Granular materials demonstrate complex mechanical behaviors due to the irreversible
rearrangements at particle scale. The irreversible behaviors of granular materials can be …

Diversos estudios han sido desarrollados en el área de los pavimentos para comprender el
comportamiento elastoplástico que experimentan materiales granulares bajo carga cíclica …

El artículo presenta los tipos de metodologías para el análisis y diseño de estructuras de
pavimentos flexibles en el mundo, las tendencias actuales y el avance de herramientas …

The development of reliable discrete element models to simulate the mechanics of granular
media requires knowledge of the grain-to-grain contact laws of the material in question. We …
