Modelling biological or engineering swarms is challenging due to the inherently high dimension of system, despite often low-dimensional emergent dynamics. Most existing swarm modelling approaches are based on first principles and result in swarm-specific parameterizations that do not generalize a broad range applications. In this work, we apply purely data-driven method (1) learn local interact...

Dynamic compaction (DC) is a widely used soil improvement method in dry and/or saturated soils. The design of DC treatment is usually carried out based on the past experiences and empirical relations. In order to clarify the ambiguities in DC processes, numerical modeling of DC in dry granular soils has been considered using a dynamic finite element code. Using the developed model, two design c...

Dynamic Compaction (DC) is a common deep compaction method that is usually used for densification of coarse-grained soils. Although traditional continuum-based models such as the Finite Element Method can be successfully applied for assessment of stress distributions or deformations induced by DC, they are typically not adequate for capturing the grain scale mechanisms of soil behavior under im...
