Abstract

Academic discourse is characterized by an abundance of abstract nouns such as analysis, research, process, concept, approach or role. These nouns are considered cohesive devices since their full content is determined by referring to their context and they have received numerous denominations [...]

Abstract

Geometry is one of the main factors controlling the overall stability of levees, in addition to their hydraulic and mechanical characteristics, while in turn, their material strength strongly depends on their degree of saturation. Given that levees are usually partially saturated [...]

Abstract

Granular flow is a complex process depending on a large set of parameters such as grain morphology, surface friction, flow geometry, stress field and cohesion (e.g. attractive interaction between grains). The latter arises from the presence of humidity, electrostatic charges and Van [...]

Abstract

We present the equations obeyed by contacts forces in a granular system solved by the Contact Dynamics algorithm. We consider their resolution in a very simple case of cohesive interaction, i.e.for a straightforward two-body 2D normal collision. The equations predict that increasing [...]

Abstract

Although intensive research on the flow of dry granular materials has allowed for the proposition of continuum rheology and modelling, the behaviour of flowing cohesive material has attracted less attention so far. To start modelling such cohesive flows, we first focus on the configuration [...]
