We present a mesoscopic model for reactive shock waves, which extends a previous model proposed in [G. Stoltz, Europhys. Lett. 76 (2006), 849]. A complex molecule (or a group of molecules) is replaced by a single mesoparticle, evolving…
Multi-scale wave propagation problems are computationally costly to solve by traditional techniques because the smallest scales must be represented over a domain determined by the largest scales of the problem. We have developed and…

Fracture is the ultimate source of failure of amorphous carbon (a-C) films, however it is challenging to measure fracture properties of a-C from nano-indentation tests and results of reported experiments are not consistent. Here, we use…
