We study a process of pattern formation for a generic model of species anchored to the nodes of a network where local reactions take place, and that experience non-reciprocal long-range interactions, encoded by the network directed links.…

The control of energy dissipation in non-spherical particle contact remains an unresolved problem. Unlike spherical contact, where the interaction reduces to a one-dimensional normal oscillator, both the effective inertia and the effective…

We probe the onset and effect of contact changes in soft harmonic particle packings which are sheared quasistatically. We find that the first contact changes are the creation or breaking of contacts on a single particle. We characterize the…
