A Nonlocal Conservation Law from a Model of Granular Flow
In this paper we study the well-posedness for a scalar conservation law in which the flux term is non-local in space. This equation represents a reduced model for slow erosion in granular flow ([1, 6]), and describes roughly the evolution of a profile of stationary matter, under the effect of a thin moving layer of granular matter on the top of it. We show that the present equation admits weak ...
متن کاملContinuum description of avalanches in granular media.
We develop a continuum description of partially fluidized granular flows. Our theory is based on the hydrodynamic equation for the flow coupled with the order parameter equation, which describes the transition between flowing and static components of the granular system. This theory captures important phenomenology recently observed in experiments with granular flows on rough inclined planes [A...
متن کاملBuckling analysis of carbon nanotubes modeled using nonlocal continuum theories
In this paper, the buckling of carbon nanotubes, modeled as nonlocal one dimensional continua within the framework of Euler–Bernoulli beams, is considered. Both a stress gradient and a strain gradient approach are considered and a variational approach is adopted to obtain the variationally consistent boundary conditions. The dependence of the buckling load on the nonlocal parameter has been det...
متن کاملAdmitting Spontaneous Violations of the Second Law in Continuum Thermomechanics
We survey new extensions of continuum mechanics incorporating spontaneous violations of the Second Law (SL), which involve the viscous flow and heat conduction. First, following an account of the Fluctuation Theorem (FT) of statistical mechanics that generalizes the SL, the irreversible entropy is shown to evolve as a submartingale. Next, a stochastic thermomechanics is formulated consistent wi...
