Nonlinear Dynamics and Network Properties in Granular Materials under Shear

<p>Granular materials are hard to understand due to their discrete and a-thermal nature. The mechanical response of a granular packing under external deformations, although highly relevant in industrial processes, is still poorly understood, partly due to the difficulty to generate a homogeneo...
