Abstract:
This dissertation deals with the description of a granular material as a continuum with an internal coordinate that represents the grainsize distribution. The inclusion of this internal coordinate allows us to describe polydispersity in a natural and simple manner. The bulk of this dissertation is built on four published papers. Each paper is prefaced by an introductory section, where the motivation for the paper is presented. In the first paper, I show how the fundamental mechanism of granular segregation can be represented in a cellular automaton. An equivalent continuum model is derived

Abstract:
Modeling and simulation of granular matter has important applications in both natural science and industry. One widely used method is the discrete element method (DEM). It can be used for simulating granular matter in the gaseous, liquid as well as solid regime whereas alternative methods are in general applicable to only one. Discrete element analysis of large systems is, however, limited by long computational time. A number of solutions to radically improve the computational efficiency of DEM simulations are developed and analysed. These include treating the material as a nonsmooth dynamical

Abstract:
Visual effects for film and animation often require simulated granular materials, such as sand, wheat, or dirt, to meet a director's needs. Simulating granular materials can be time consuming, in both computation and labor, as these particulate materials have complex behavior and an enormous amount of small-scale detail. Furthermore, a single cubic meter of granular material, where each grain is a cubic millimeter, would contain a billion granules, and simulating all such interacting granules would take an impractical amount of time for productions. This calls for a simplified model for granul

Abstract:
Granular materials are abundant in the natural and industrial environment. Typical granular materials are collections of inert, passive particles in which the constituent grains of the material are macroscopic; thus they fill space, are athermal, and interact through only local contact forces. This definition can be broadened to include non-inert particles as well-active particles-in which the grains of an active granular material possess an internal energy source which drives motion. Active granular materials are found in many areas of the biological world, from cattle stampedes and pedestria

A numerical model is being developed for ice forecasting which is based on a granular dynamics approach.

It will therefore be useful for navigation, for the operation of offshore drilling platforms and for commercial fishing. At the mesoscale, the forces governing the motion of ice floes are wind drag, water drag, Coriolis force and the contact forces arising from internal collisions. Expressions are developed to evalua

First, we focus on the dynamics of the air invading the medium at short and long time scale, when injecting a continuous air flow.

L'objectif de la thèse est d'analyser le comportement mécanique de matériaux granulaires composites bidimensionels en terme de textures granulaires en utilisant deux approches : étude expérimentale par "thermoelastic stress analysis" et étude numérique par dynamique moléculaire. Les systèmes granulaires composites sont préparés à l'aide de cylindres en polyoxyméthylène (POM) et polyéthylène haute densité (PEHD), présentant un rapport de rigidité de 4 entre eux. Différents rapports de diamètres et de nombres de particules sont considérés. Les résultats expérimentaux et numériques sont en bon ac

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 173-182).<br>This thesis presents Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies of gas flow dynamics in porous and granular media by using laser-polarized ¹²⁹Xe . Two different physical processes, the gas transport in porous rock cores and the mass exchanges between different phases in fluidized granular systems, were investigated and new experimental methods were designed to measure several important parameters characterizing the two systems. Methods for measuring

Le résumé en français n'a pas été communiqué par l'auteur<br>Administrative registers maintained by statistical offices on vastly heterogeneous firms have much untapped potential to reveal details on sources of productivity of firms and economies alike. It has been proposed that firm-level shocks can go a long way in explaining aggregate fluctuations. Based on novel monthly frequency data, idiosyncratic shocks are able to explain a sizable share of the Finnish economic fluctuations, providing support to the granular hypothesis. The global financial crisis of 2007-2008 has challenged the field

Abstract:
The locomotion of organisms whether by running, flying, or swimming is the result of multiple degree-of-freedom nervous and musculoskeletal systems interacting with an environment that often flows and deforms in response to movement. A major challenge in biology is to understand the locomotion of organisms that crawl or burrow within terrestrial substrates like sand, soil, and muddy sediments that display both solid and fluid-like behavior. In such materials, validated theories such as the Navier-Stokes equations for fluids do not exist, and visualization techniques (such as particle image vel
