Cellular Automata (CA), one of the most challenging computational paradigms in microscopic and macroscopic complex systems simulation, can be successfully addressed also by using a modified CA classical approach. In this contribution we discuss related aspects in applying the CANv2 approach in examples of micro and macro dynamics such as: superconductive devices and forest fire simulation. Adva...

We present a micro-macro method for the simulation of large elastic deformations of plant tissue. At the microscopic level we use a discrete element model to describe the geometrical structure and basic properties of individual plant cells. The macroscopic domain is discretized using standard finite elements, in which the unknown macroscopic material properties (the stress-strain relation) are ...

– In order to clarify how the statistical properties of earthquakes depend on the constitutive law characterizing the stick-slip dynamics, we make an extensive numerical simulation of the one-dimensional spring-block model with a rateand state-dependent friction law. Both the magnitude distribution and the recurrence-time distribution are studied with varying the constitutive parameters charact...
