چکیده
We present a novel numerical model allowing to take the best part of continuum-based and discrete modelling in single framework. This is applied reproduction laboratory earthquakes high-pressure triaxial cell. It allows represent most relevant phenomena at stake, including elastic stress build-up during loading, fast slow sliding events, seismic waves emission surrounding medium evolution fault gouge on interface. review here some illustrative results obtained with this propose further research avenues.

Laboratory earthquakes
We report on the experimental observation of the phenomenon of, spontaneously nucleated, supershear rupture and on the visualization of the mechanism of subRayleigh to supershear rupture transition in frictionally-held interfaces. The laboratory experiments mimic natural earthquakes. The results suggest that under certain conditions supershear rupture propagation can be facilitated during large...
متن کاملComparing a discrete and continuum model of the intestinal crypt.
The integration of processes at different scales is a key problem in the modelling of cell populations. Owing to increased computational resources and the accumulation of data at the cellular and subcellular scales, the use of discrete, cell-level models, which are typically solved using numerical simulations, has become prominent. One of the merits of this approach is that important biological...
متن کاملA variational model of interaction between continuum and discrete systems
We consider a variational model which describes a complex system composed, in its reference configuration, of a periodic distribution of ‘small’ interacting particles immersed in a continuous medium. We describe its macroscopic limit via Gamma-convergence, highlighting different regimes. In particular, we show how the interplay between the particles and the continuum leads, for a critical size ...
متن کاملA continuum-discrete model for supply chains dynamics
This paper is focused on continuum-discrete models for supply chains. In particular, we consider the model introduced in [10], where a system of conservation laws describe the evolution of the supply chain status on sub-chains, while at some nodes solutions are determined by Riemann solvers. Fixing the rule of flux maximization, two new Riemann Solvers are defined. We study the equilibria of th...
متن کاملA Combined Discrete/Continuum Solvation Model: Application to Glycine
A new solvation model that combines discrete and continuum descriptions of the solvent has been developed. The discrete solvent molecules are represented by effective fragment potentials (EFP), while the continuum is represented by the Onsager model. This (EFP+Onsager) model has been applied to the relative stabilities of the neutral and zwitterionic forms of glycine. Other supermolecule-contin...
