Sliding and rolling dissipation in Cosserat plasticity

Rolling and sliding dynamics in centrifugal spreading

Centrifugal forcing is a usual method to spread a granular material. The dynamics of a particle in this system appears to change spectacularly according to the shape of the particle. We present a dynamical transition between a rolling and sliding regime and a purely sliding regime as a function of the friction coefficient and the elongation of the particle. This rolling/sliding motion is indeed...

Subsurface Stresses in Rolling/Sliding Machine Components

Rolling friction and energy dissipation in a spinning disc.

This paper presents the results of both experimental and theoretical investigations for the dynamics of a steel disc spinning on a horizontal rough surface. With a pair of high-speed cameras, a stereoscopic vision method is adopted to perform omnidirectional measurements for the temporal evolution of the disc's motion. The experiment data allow us to detail the dynamics of the disc, and consequ...

Effect of rolling on dissipation in fault gouges.

Sliding and rolling are two outstanding deformation modes in granular media. The first one induces frictional dissipation whereas the latter one involves deformation with negligible resistance. Using numerical simulations on two-dimensional shear cells, we investigate the effect of the grain rotation on the energy dissipation and the strength of granular materials under quasistatic shear deform...

Computational Implementation of Cosserat Based Strain Gradient Plasticity Theories

The current trend in microelectronics towards miniaturization has pushed for an interest in theories intended to explain the behavior of materials at small scales. In particular, an increase in yield strength with decreasing size has been experimentally observed in several materials and under different loading conditions. A class of non-classical continuum mechanics theories has been recently e...
