The end result for both static and dynamic simulations is the response trajectory, u = uðλÞ, i.e., the arrangement of the atoms as a function of the applied load. ...
Rather than statically or dynamically generating a single response trajectory, we use branch-following and bifurcation (BFB) algorithms to generate a diagram we call the equilibrium map (EM), which contains ...

Geometric origin of mechanical properties of granular materials

Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics
The approximation of small displacements (ASD) allows to draw analogies with other model systems studied in statistical mechanics, such as minimum paths on a lattice. ...
It also entails the uniqueness of the equilibrium state (the list of contacts itself is geometrically determined) for cohesionless grains, and thus the absence of plastic dissipation. ...

Multicontact dynamics of granular systems

Computer Physics Communications
We show that two modes of stress transmission coexist in a granular assembly, and discuss the robustness of this behavior with respect to material parameters, boundary conditions, and simulation methods ...
