the theoretical calculation of the energies of projectile like fragments (plfs) using the heavy-ion reactions between 76ge and 198pt are reported in this article. the incident beam energy was 635 mev. the calculated values of plfs are compared with the previous experimental results and it is shown that the theoretical calculations of plfs are consistent with the experimental values. the elastic...

a r t i c l e i n f o The degree of elasticity for the impact of a particle with a rigid wall is normally characterized with the restitution parameter, R. We examine such impact behavior of Cu nanoparticles with molecular dynamics simulations, for different particle sizes (1–15 nm in radius) and impact velocities (25–200 m s − 1). The impact can be ultra-elastic (R N 1) or inelastic (R b 1). Ul...

Asphalt concrete is a heterogeneous material composed of aggregates, binder cement, and air voids, and may be described as a cemented particulate system. The load carrying behavior of such a material is strongly related to the local load transfer between aggregate particles, and this is taken as the microstructural response. Simulation of this material behavior was accomplished using a finite e...

Recent advances in nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures have been based primarily on fiber-based discretization of the member cross section at locations of expected inelastic action. However, the accuracy of a fiber-section model is almost entirely dependent on the ability of constitutive material models to represent the overall inelastic behavior of the member. The postyield re...

We study the properties of a one-dimensional (1D) granular gas consisting of N hard rods on a line of length L (with periodic boundary conditions). The particles collide inelastically and are fluidized by a heat bath at temperature Tb and viscosity gamma. The analysis is supported by molecular dynamics simulations. The average properties of the system are first discussed, focusing on the relati...

The scaling behavior of deep inelastic single-particle inclusive electroproduction (or neutrino production) expected from the parton model has been given by Drell and Yan as v 3 g&2 when the observed hadron has a finite fraction of the virtual photon’s laboratory momentum. Although Drell and Yan give the correct scaling behavior with their choice of variables, we show that with variables more a...

When dissipative particles are left alone, their fluctuation energy decays due to collisional interactions, clusters build up and grow with time until the system size is reached. When the effective dissipation is strong enough, this may lead to the " inelastic collapse " , i.e. the divergence of the collision frequency of some particles. The cluster growth is an interesting physical phenomenon,...

This paper summarizes the lessons learned from a full-scale test on two RC frame prototypes that have recently been tested on LNEC shaking-table using four pairs of biaxial synthetic ground motion records during 15WCEE Conference (2012). The reference structures are two single-story RC frames which are geometrically identical but with different reinforcement details. The simplified inelastic mo...

The inelastic deformation of nacre that leads to its structural robustness has been characterized in a recent experimental study. This article develops a model for the inelastic behavior, measured in tension, along the axis of the aragonite plates. The model is based on observations for abalone nacre that the inelasticity is associated with periodic dilatation bands. These bands contain coordin...
