Extended continuum mechanics for the study of granular flows

We exploit a recent proposal of an «extended kinematics» to describe fast flows of granular materials. Prompted by some remarks in elementary point dynamics, we suggest balance laws which might be of use in studying the evolution of those flows.

Constrained elasticity

Paolo Podio-Guidugli (1990)

Similarity:

Some foundational aspects of the constitutive theory of finite elasticity are considered in the case, regarded here as general, when internal kinematical constraints are imposed. The emphasis is on the algebraic-geometric structure induced by constraints. In particular, old and new examples of internal constraints are reviewed, and the material symmetry issue in the presence of constraints is discussed.

Molecular modelling of stresses and deformations in nanostructured materials

Gwidon Szefer (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A molecular dynamics approach to the deformation and stress analysis in structured materials is presented. A new deformation measure for a lumped mass system of points is proposed. In full consistency with the continuum mechanical description, three kinds of stress tensors for the discrete system of atoms are defined. A computer simulation for a set of 10^5 atoms forming a sheet undergoing tension (Case 1) and contraction (Case 2) is given. Characteristic microstress distributions evoked...
