Microscopic origin of granular ratcheting.
Numerical simulations of assemblies of grains under cyclic loading exhibit "granular ratcheting:" a small net deformation occurs with each cycle, leading to a linear accumulation of deformation with cycle number. We show that this is due to a curious property of the most frequently used models of the particle-particle interaction: namely, that the potential energy stored in contacts is path dep...
متن کاملSelf-similar solutions of laser produced blast waves
The aerodynamics of the blast wave produced by laser ablation is studied using the piston analogy. The unsteady one-dimensional gasdynamic equations governing the flow are solved under assumption of self-similarity. The solutions are utilized to obtain analytical expressions for the velocity, density, pressure and temperature distributions. The results predict all the experimentally observed fe...
متن کاملMacro- and Microscopic Self-Similarity in Neuro- and Psycho-Dynamics
The unique Hamiltonian description of neuroand psycho-dynamics at the macroscopic, classical, inter-neuronal level of brain’s neural networks, and microscopic, quantum, intra-neuronal level of brain’s microtubules, is presented in the form of open Liouville equations. This implies the arrow of time in both neuroand psycho-dynamic processes and shows the existence of the formal neuro-biological ...
متن کاملStability of Relativistic Blast Waves
A spherical blast wave with relativistic velocity can be described by a similarity solution, that is used for theoretical models of gamma-ray bursts. We consider the linear stability of such a relativistic blast wave propagating into a medium with density gradient. The perturbation can also be expressed by a self-similar form. We show that the shock front is unstable in general, and we evaluate...
متن کاملNonlinear waves in granular crystals
We investigate excitations in one-dimensional granular crystals, i.e. chains of solid beads with nonlinear interaction forces. These chains have attracted attention because of their relative experimental simplicity and interesting dynamics. They can be modelled as chains of coupled oscillators in a model reminiscent of the celebrated Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) equations. The nonlinearity of the int...
