Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

Liquid-like at rest, dense suspensions of hard particles can undergo striking transformations
in behaviour when agitated or sheared. These phenomena include solidification during …

Jamming is a ubiquitous phenomenon that appears in many soft matter systems, including
granular materials, foams, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and cells—when …

Granular hydrogels have been increasingly exploited in biomedical applications, including
wound healing and cardiac repair. Despite their utility, design guidelines for engineering …

Granular materials such as sand, powders and foams are ubiquitous in daily life and in
industrial and geotechnical applications,,,. These disordered systems form stable structures …

We explore the role of exceptional points and complex eigenvalues on the occurrence of the
quantum Mpemba effect. To this end, we study a two-level driven dissipative system …

Dense granular flow is common in nature and industrial applications. A hallmark behaviour
of granular flow is the emergence of a critical state when sufficient strain is applied, which …

The bulk properties of powders depend on material characteristics and size of the primary
particles. During storage and transportation processes in the powder processing industry …

Despite the significant progresses in discrete-based numerical studies of granular materials,
most efforts have been placed in the study of large deformation problems and there are …
