We comment on, and complete, the analysis of the weak field limit of metric f(R) gravity in T. Chiba, T.L. Smith, and A.L. Erickcek, Phys. Rev. D 75, 124014 (2007).
We describe experiments that probe the response to a point force of 2D granular systems under a variety of conditions. Using photoelastic particles to determine forces at the grain scale, we experimentally show that disorder, packing…
This is paper I of a series of two papers, offering a self-contained analysis of the role of electromagnetic stress-energy-momentum tensors in the classical description of continuous polarizable perfectly insulating media. While…

This paper is Comment on the paper: S.A.R. Horsley and M. Babiker, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 010405 (2005).
We present a molecular dynamics study of force patterns, tensile strength and crack formation in a cohesive granular model where the particles are subjected to swelling or shrinkage gradients. Non-uniform particle size change generates…
This is a response to the comment on our manuscript "Repulsive contact interactions make jammed particulate systems inherently nonharmonic" (Physical Review Letters 107 (2011) 078301) by C. P. Goodrich, A. J. Liu, and S. R. Nagel.
Some unusual relations between stress tensors, conservation and equations of motion are briefly reviewed.
The instability of transverse wobbling claim is disputed.
This is a Reply to a Comment by V.P. Torchigin and A.V. Torchigin, published in Physical Review A 92, 017803 (2015). The paper which is commented upon is titled "Deducing radiation pressure on a submerged mirror from the Doppler shift,"…
We propose the description of the granular matter which is based on distribution of dry friction coefficients. Using such a concept and a simple one-dimensional packing of grains we solve the silo problem. The friction coefficients at…
We point out that the results by Brandenberger et al. in Phys.Rev.D77:083502(2008) that the geometry around the straight cosmic strings with stationary junctions is flat to linear order in the string tension can be immediately extended to…

In a recent paper, Vink et al. analyzed some spectropolarimetry data of O-type stars. Here we comment on our disagreement with some points presented in this paper, with the hope of helping to fully grasp the scientific implication of these…
The stress response of a granular assembly subject to different changes of boundary conditions is studied experimentally in order to define the stress propagation characteristics. These results demonstrate that no simple and single…
A point-by-point answer to the comment authored by S. Ayik and D. Lacroix is presented. At this point in time this text is not aimed at being submitted to Phys. Rev. C or any other journal, unless the authors of the comment choose to follow…
The production of mechanical stresses in living organisms largely relies on localized, force-generating active units embedded in filamentous matrices. Numerical simulations of discrete fiber networks with fixed boundaries have shown that…
