Photoelastic study of dense granular free-surface flow rheology and size segregation
… of original experiments where instantaneous forces between individual particles within the bulk of 2D flows are quantified. The specific type of granular flow we study is gravity-driven, dry, and in the slow to intermediate regime. Here we describe a novel adaptation of the photoelastic …

Interacting Stochastic Processes: from Viciousness to Caging to Force Chains
… also includes analysis of the heterogeneous force network present in amorphous solids near the onset of rigidity, or jamming. The onset of rigidity can, in some sense, be viewed an interacting stochastic process with added constraints to enforce force-balance on each particle, for example. …

Stress Transmission in a Granular System
… new insights beyond the commonly reported force chains. The ‘stress chain’ concept is considered as an alternative way to reflect grain breakage that may initiate on the weak force network and compromise the stability of the assembly. It is thus suggested that the ‘stress chain’ concept can …

Essays on Law Enforcement Misconduct and Social Network Analysis
Deviance amongst law enforcement officers is shaped by both the ethical culture of their agency and their relationships with their peers. This dissertation uses tools from the intersection of social network analysis and organisational justice theory to examine the settings of, causes of, and …
