Abstract The 1992 magnitude 7.3 Landers earthquake triggered an exceptional number of
additional earthquakes within California and as far north as Yellowstone and Montana …

A review of measurements and atomistic modeling shows that shear bands in metallic
glasses have a characteristic thickness of∼ 10 nm⁠. Such extreme localization of plastic …

Based on a multidisciplinary analysis, the following four-stage model of earthquake (EQ)
dynamics by means of precursory electromagnetic (EM) emissions (EMEs) has been …

The importance of particle rotation to the mechanical behavior of granular materials subject
to quasi-static shearing has been well recognized in the literature. Although the physical …

Sliding and rolling are two outstanding deformation modes in granular media. The first one
induces frictional dissipation whereas the latter one involves deformation with negligible …

Mesoscale disordered materials are ubiquitous in industry and in the environment. Any
fundamental understanding of the transport and mechanical properties of such materials …

A method of modeling convex or concave polygonal particles is proposed. DEM simulations
of shear banding in crushable and irregularly shaped granular materials are presented in …

Triggering large-scale motion by imposing vibrations to a system can be encountered in
many situations, from daily-life shaking of saltcellar to silo unclogging or dynamic …

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the fragmentation of polymeric
materials by impacting polypropylene particles of spherical shape against a hard wall …

В монографии обобщен опыт инструментальных наблюдений за геофизическими
полями в приповерхностной зоне Земли в рамках нового научного направления …
