  • Non-smooth contact dynamics approach of cohesive materials
    Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London Series A Mathematical and Physical Sciences (1934-1990), 2001
    Co-Authors: Michel Jean, Vincent Acary, Yann Monerie
    Abstract:

    The main features of the non-smooth contact dynamics (NSCD) method—the Dynamical Equation, the Signorini relation as a non-smooth modelling of unilateral contact, and the frictional Coulomb's law, treated with fully implicit algorithms— are briefly presented in this paper. By mere changes of variables, it appears that a large class of interface problems, including cohesive interface problems, may be solved using Signorini, Coulomb and standard NSCD algorithms. Emphasis is put on contact between deformable bodies. Examples illustrating numerical simulation are given for fibre-reinforced materials and for buildings made of blocks.

  • The non-smooth contact dynamics method
    Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 1999
    Co-Authors: Michel Jean
    Abstract:

    The main features of the Non-Smooth Contact Dynamics method are presented in this paper, the use of the Dynamical Equation, the non-smooth modelling of unilateral contact and Coulomb's law, fully implicit algorithms to solve the Dynamical frictional contact problem for systems with numerous contacting points, in particular large collections of rigid or deformable bodies. Emphasis is put on contact between deformable bodies. Illustrating numerical simulation examples are given for granular materials, deep drawing and buildings made of stone blocks.

  • exact solution for the energy spectrum of kelvin wave turbulence in superfluids
    Physical Review B, 2011
    Co-Authors: Laurent Boue, Ratul Dasgupta, Jason Laurie, Victor S Lvov, S Nazarenko, Itamar Procaccia
    Abstract:

    We study the statistical and Dynamical behavior of turbulent Kelvin waves propagating on quantized vortices in superfluids and address the controversy concerning the energy spectrum that is associated with these excitations. Finding the correct energy spectrum is important because Kelvin waves play a major role in the dissipation of energy in superfluid turbulence at near-zero temperatures. In this paper, we show analytically that the solution proposed by [L’vov and Nazarenko, JETP Lett. 91, 428 (2010)] enjoys existence, uniqueness, and regularity of the prefactor. Furthermore, we present numerical results of the Dynamical Equation that describes to leading order the nonlocal regime of the Kelvin-wave dynamics. We compare our findings with the analytical results from the proposed local and nonlocal theories for Kelvin-wave dynamics and show an agreement with the nonlocal predictions. Accordingly, the spectrum proposed by L’vov and Nazarenko should be used in future theories of quantum turbulence. Finally, for weaker wave forcing we observe an intermittent behavior of the wave spectrum with a fluctuating dissipative scale, which we interpreted as a finite-size effect characteristic of mesoscopic wave turbulence.
