Compaction is considered and embedded into broader granular behavior. Reversible compaction is related to the pressure exerted by agitated grains, a quantity relevant to dense flow. Irreversible compaction is derived from the loss of…
Using numerical simulations, we study the dynamical evolution of particles interacting via competing long-range repulsion and short-range attraction in two dimensions. The particles are compressed using a time-dependent quasi-one…
This study focused on the expansion in polydisperse granular materials owing to mechanical annealing, which involved compression and decompression. Following minor annealing, the polydisperse systems exhibited compaction as well as the…
We suggest a simple model for the dynamics of granular particles in suspension which is suitable for an event driven algorithm, allowing to simulate $N=\mathcal{O}(10^6)$ particles or more. As a first application we consider a dense…
The crazing behavior of polymer nanocomposites formed by blending polymer grafted nanoparticles with an entangled polymer melt is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. We focus on the three key differences in the crazing behavior of a…
We study by means of molecular dynamics simulations of periodic shear cells, the influence of particle shape on the global mechanical behavior of dense granular media. Results at macro-mechanical level show that for large shear deformation…
The mechanical behavior in compression of [111] LiF micropillars with diameters in the range 0.5 $\mu$m to 2.0 $\mu$m was analyzed by means of discrete dislocation dynamics at ambient and elevated temperature. The dislocation velocity was…
We report on an experimental study of small cluster dynamics during the coarsening process in driven granular submonolayers of 120mkm bronze particles. The techniques of electrostatic and vertical mechanical vibration were employed to…
Buckling induced by viscous flow changes the shape of sheet-like nanomaterial particles suspended in liquids. This instability at the particle scale affects collective behavior of suspension flows and has many technological and biological…
We discuss how simulations of mechanical properties of materials require descriptions at many different length scales --- from the nanoscale where an atomic description is appropriate, through a mesoscale where dislocation based…
The compression of a low-density copper foam was simulated with a radiation, hydrodynamics code. In one simulation, the foam had a density of $\rho_0 = 1.3407$ g/cm$^3$, 15% the density of copper at standard temperature and pressure, and…
Nanocrystal gelation provides a powerful framework to translate nanoscale properties into bulk materials and to engineer emergent properties through the assembled microstructure. However, many established gelation strategies rely on…
For fundamentally characterizing the effect of hierarchical structure in granular matter, a set of compression-relaxation tests for dust particles and glass beads confined in a cylindrical cell was performed. Typical diameter of both grains…
Granular materials undergo compaction under periodic temperature fluctuations, leading to various engineering and geological phenomena from landslides to silo compaction. Although thermal effects on granular materials have been extensively…
We report a study of the rotational dynamics in double-walled nanotubes using molecular dynamics simulations and a simple analytical model reproducing very well the observations. We show that the dynamic friction is linear in the angular…
We examine the dynamics of two-dimensional colloidal systems using numerical simulations of a system with a drive applied to a thin region in the middle of the sample to produce a local shear. For a monodisperse colloidal assembly, we find…
We study the surface growth generated by the random deposition of particles of different sizes. A model is proposed where the particles are aggregated on an initially flat surface, giving rise to a rough interface and a porous bulk. By…
Coherent grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering is used to investigate the average kinetics and the fluctuation dynamics during self-organized nanopatterning of silicon by Ar$^+$ bombardment at 65$^{\circ}$ polar angle. At early…
In this letter, we report on an experimental study which analyzes the compressive behavior of 2D bidisperse granular assemblies made of soft (hyperelastic) and hard grains in varying proportions ($\kappa$). By means of a recently developed…
A macroscopically nominal flat surface is rough at the nanoscale level and consists of nanoasperities. Therefore, the frictional properties of the macroscale-level rough surface are determined by the mechanical behaviors of nanoasperity…
